I Am Broken Poem by Nikia Chesney

Why did you even bother,
to bring joy in my life?
If you never meant what you said,
you just leave me here to cry.

For so long I thought you loved me,
but here with the truth spoken;
All of my dreams have shattered,
and now I am broken.

Who would ever want me?
A toy with a broken heart;
Whose stitches are all unraveled,
who would easily fall apart.

Forever I will sit on the shelf,
my tears as a token;
As the evidence of my torment,
from lying here...broken.
