Every time

Of forgiving someone who tore your heart apart, betrayed, and ripped apart your soul, time and time again.

Every time
I let you steal my heart away
It comes back
In shattered pieces.

Every time
I let you in,
You cleave through my defenses,
And rip everything apart.

I stand here
In the aftermath
Amidst the rubble,
The ruined shambles
And all that's left
Of my soul

I'm already wondering,
How long it will take
To clear up the mess
And crawl back to you.
