Everything, Something, Nothing

Everything I am not
You continuously throw at me
While all that I am
You repeatedly use against me.
Something inside makes me stay
Yet I know you do not want me to
I am dizzy from all of your games
Of tearing me while I love you.
Nothing can make me understand this
For I thought I gave you all of me
I cannot determine anything
Like the reason I was never enough.
You said I was your everything
And that I was more than something
Then tell me this: why are we nothing?
You continuously throw at me

You repeatedly use against me.
Something inside makes me stay
Yet I know you do not want me to
I am dizzy from all of your games
Of tearing me while I love you.
Nothing can make me understand this
For I thought I gave you all of me
I cannot determine anything
Like the reason I was never enough.
You said I was your everything
And that I was more than something
Then tell me this: why are we nothing?
