I try to blame others for my pain,
but it always comes back to you.
You started the cycle,
and now I allow others to hurt me.
You labelled me weak and no good,
and all the men like you see that.
They read through my tough exterior,
and see the lost girl inside me.
I chase love everyday,
to fill my heart with the emptiness you left.
I wasn't good enough for you to keep,
so I feel I'm never good enough for anyone else.
All I want is acceptance from you,
but since you won't give me that I look else where.
I look in all the wrong places,
and replace you with all the wrong people.
I'm filled with an empty love,
and the hope that one day someone will love me the way you should have.
