You blamed me for leaving,
I just smiled,
Because I knew you were not ready for the truth,
And despite walking out I loved you more than I ever loved, or probably ever would.
You held my pieces and tried to put them back together.
I held your pieces and in some ways ripped them to shreds.
I was dying by my choices
You were dying by my choices,
But you wouldn't pull back.
I was terrified I would destroy you,
Because I knew I couldn't stop.
So I sent you away,
Telling myself you would understand,
Little white lies became so much more,
You were so hurt but you still came around
Watching me spiral further and further down,
And when you finally washed your hands of me,
That was rockbottom.
Dark and terrifying.
I know amends don't mean anything to you any more,
And Im glad your free of my chains,
Im glad Im free of yours,
But now your falling,
And I don't know how to reach you,
Because nothings the same.
