After being alone all these years, I sit here drowning in tears <br />My heart aching, my eyes sore and soaking wet <br />You've shown me today, that I'll never get away <br />No matter how hard I try, life won't let me forget <br />For so many years, I've cried so many tears <br />I held on for as long as I could <br />But I can't keep fightin, this battle that won't lighten <br />My strength is finally gone and I've given up for good <br />My strength you have stolen, my eyes are now swollen <br />I'm now broken, worthless, and useless <br />You're the cause to my pain, you drive me so insane <br />You are bitter, heartless and ruthless <br />For years you beat me sensless, I'm now hopeless and defenseless <br />You attacked me with memories and fears <br />You've been attacking my heart, slowly ripping it apart <br />And now it's effecting the one I love most dear <br />At times I had you beaten, you heartless little creetin <br />There were times when I was sure that I'd won <br />But to my repeated dismay, my triumph would again decay <br />And I went from being someone to no one <br />You've succeeded to render, this soul to surrender <br />I give into you, oh hurtful past of mine <br />It took me forever, but now I know more than ever <br />That you're gonna haunt me till the end of my time <br />So do what you will, wether it be hurt, torture, or kill <br />I have no strength left in me to fight <br />You've finally defeated this soul so mistreated <br />I stop troubling my loved ones with your memories tonight<br /><br />Shelby Renee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-have-nothing-left-you-win/
