Little by Little

By: Katrina Suzanne Van Matre

You started by changing my life
little by little
'Til I was no longer in control

Then you destroyed my mind
little by little
So I have no longer a thought of my own

Next you began tearing at my heart
little by little
Gave it pain 'til it broke apart

Finally you stole from me my soul
little by little
Now I'm only flesh and bones

You took away what you wanted
Left what you didn't behind
How could anyone be so cruel
Be so unkind

I look in a mirror but don't recognize who I see
The reflection of the person I'm looking at
That person is no longer me
