Broken

Her brother watches
As she sleeps with other men
And yet she doesn't mind

An ex prostitute
Once addicted to cocaine
Sleeping with her stepfather

A hardcore alcoholic
Playing make believe
She is trapped in her own mind

A pathological liar
The victim of rape
Or so she claims

A single mother, bipolar
Who conceived as a teenager
Afraid of commitment

So insecure
She hides her true self behind the mask
Fearing to show her intelligence

Seeking adoration from all
She plays her games
Expecting her body to get her whatever she wants

She likes fun and she's creative
She runs after you
Just so she can ask your name

She asks that you would touch her
After you do she pulls away
Then she asks this of you again

She hates you because she loves you
And that's as far as she will go
She acts tough around her friends

She has an odd infatuation
And her eyes are fixed on you
She's in love with chivalry

She spends her time with you
Then turns to her own devices
Her attention fading in and out

Sweet yet so deceitful
She hides there in plain sight
You won't see it coming till after she's already gone

I give my love so unconditionally
And yet I stand alone
Feeling I was used

Ghosts of the past torment me
I see all of these women here
Why bring the broken ones to me

Raped by my neighborly peer
Is the reason I am write hear
No tear to shed, just bloodshed
Alone nothing I own
So I swollow enmpty words while
gnawing on my bones

......broken am I toooooo......

Sometimes other penned words break your bones....not intentional pain....truth will take you on a true journey all by itself....

While your descriptions are sad and vivid, there is compassion in your words, which leaves me feeling as though this woman has touched your life in some way.
Why bring the broken ones to me
Perhaps you have touched her life in some significant way as well...One could hope.

Interesting...a woman so broken. One who lusts for attention, yet always plays the victim. But who would believe her after all that she's done in the past? I'm sorry to hear of her and how her life has taken this route. Perhaps one day, she will find the light.
