i gave you my heart...

I gave you my heart,
to keep it safe in your arms..
you neglected it...
never took care of it...
And in the end,
it shattered under your harshness...

Pieces of my heart
you've scattered everywhere...
giving a piece of me,
to everyone around...
i was here for you.
cause i loved you.
you are here,
cause you want me.

It's no more
that i can take of this.
this neglect.
this hatred.

It's time i said good-bye
and wiped your dirty face
off my heart..
It's time i said "no more"
and threw these gifts,
you bribed me with.
It's time i finally made a choice for myself,
and not merely suffer under your shadow..

It's time..
i stepped out.
