The Gift

I handed you this gift
With no expectation of a return
You said that you would cherish it forever and I believed you
I thought you had my best interest at heart
I was told so many times that this was not right
But young and naive I had to learn on my own
I was so preoccupied with the appearance of you that I overlooked the obvious signs
You said everything perfect
You made me feel special
Like I was the only one you treated this way
God was I stupid for that
The whole time you were targeting me
See you knew my story
You knew what I liked and disliked
You knew how to give me goosebumps
Before I knew it you stole everything I had
My peace
my joy
My dreams and aspirations
My heart
And you trampled on them
You dropped them down so they could break because that's what you do right?
I should have know that it was to good to be true
I should have seen your horns under that fitted cap
I should have seen your tail through those pants that sagged just enough to intrigue me
I was entranced by the devil himself
When I thought it was over and I lost grace swept in and mercy followed
They picked me up and handed me back everything I lost they are still helping me piece them back together
I don't even know why you thought you'd won!
Do you know who my father is?
Do you know that he only allowed you to come so that I could be stronger
The one you left for dead and broken apart
now is whole and alive
And the gift of me will never be given again be that easily given away
