I couldn't sleep and decided to let out some feelings in writing. This is what came out.

The Girl I Used To Be

Where is the girl I used to be?
Before I let you get to me.

You turned my world upside down.
How can I ever go back now?

I hate that I let you change me.
I hate that you could not let me be.

You said your heart was full of love.
I learned different with every shove.

I wish I could remember who I was.
But trying, is a worthless cause.

You stole every ounce of innocence I had left.
The most overlooked kind of theft.

You robbed me of my peace.
Will these feelings ever cease?

I wish I could forget.
My mind is full of regret.

I've learned my lesson and that's a fact.
But now I'm here and I can't go back.

I wish I could erase you from my memory somehow.
But I can't so here is my solemn vow.

I will never let my heart be tricked again.
I have learned from you to not trust men.

You hurt me.
That's how I lost that girl I used to be.
