You were so lovely
Begging for my time
Promising me forever and helping me heal a broken heart
You were so clever
Weaving a web just for the two of us
I didn’t even see that it was a trap
You were what I believed I wanted
A prize to be with, a joy to have
It didn’t matter it was so cold in your arms
And then
You ripped me apart
Took all my delicate love and shredded it into pieces
Saying I'm just too sensitive as you sharpen your claws and wet your teeth
You gave me scars
Used your kisses to bruise and your hands to take
Telling me this is what love looks like for girls like me
You laid claim to my heart
Not for safe keeping
You used my own love as a weapon against me
Well
I'm sewing myself back together
You did not ruin me
Even after all those years, you could not stamp me out
I am ruination and I am no longer afraid of you
