Just Dented

This is a continuation of one of the pieces that I posted last week. Everyone who told me what they thought said that this was their favorite of the 3, and that it seemed kinda like a song. I write like that sometimes, so I decided to give this form of poem a day (though I'm sure it probably already has one, but whatever!), I'm calling it a song poem. So if anyone actually wants to try to put it to music, have at it. Although I play guitar, I suck at turning my words into songs. 

Let me know what you think of this one! Thanks!! :-)

Just Dented

Fooled again by a man

that I trusted, all while

being more cautious

than I have been before.

He doesn't know

that he didn't break me;

no, this time

I'm only dented.

I’ve been broken before,

kicked and thrown around,

left feeling useless

and not quite whole.

I’m healing, stronger now

where I was once broken.

and this time,

I’m only dented.

Dents still hurt,

still leave a mark.

But each day I’m better,

looking more like myself.

I’ll still think about him.

He left his mark.

But this time,

I’m only dented.

I lock into moments

of peace and happiness,

and drown out those moments

of being using.

He played me,

took me for a ride.

Still, this time

I’m only dented.

My heart took a kick,

lost a little blood.

But I'm still standing,

still smiling, singing,

playing and laughing.
