You saw me
when I couldn’t see myself.
You adored me
when I thought I was unlovable.
You caught me
the second you saw me start to fall.
You saved me
when I thought I was unsalvageable.
So I will be here for you.
Not because I feel like I owe you…
but because I love you just as much.
Sometimes memories
run through my mind
at night like images on
a movie reel…
And I wish I could hit pause
to relive these moments
just one more time…
But like a winding collage
they just spin…
Why can’t you
just leave me alone?
There’s nothing
left to say…
You’ve already cut me
down to the bone,
With nothing more
to scrape away.
It was a
web of lies
so intricately
spun…
I couldn’t
tell where it
ended…
Or how it
had even
begun.
I’m left
with regret,
and I’m left
with remorse…
But no apology
will matter,
until acceptance
runs it’s course…
I just can’t
understand when
people tell
me to rest...
How can I
stop my mind
from running
til it’s out of breath?
The threads
around me are
slowly unraveling,
But this fabric
seems to be not worth
salvaging…
You filled me up
like a lead balloon,
but I couldn’t float
when I was full of you.
I would rise up
but then I’d fall,
because to you
I was nothing at all.
Blowing out the candles
and making a wish…
I want year twenty seven
to beat twenty six.
