Let Me Down

when I needed a shoulder to cry on,
you were never there,
when I needed someone to confide in,
you never really cared,
when I'd given up on living,
you left me there to bleed,
when I told you I was worthless,
you just smiled and agreed,
when I was standing on the edge,
you helped me take the leap,
when I was locked inside my head,
you threw away the key,
you were always there behind me,
pushing me closer to the edge,
you were always there beside me,
knocking me over the ledge,
nothing seemed to go right,
you made it all my fault,
when I finally pulled myself up-right,
you tried to make me fall,
when I finally opened my eyes,
and saw the true man you were,
you told me that I'm nothing,
and this is what I deserved,
nothing good has come from you,
the scars are all that remains,
of the girl that you once held in check,
the girl you caused so much pain.
