At one point in my life, I thought you were everything.
Every breath I took, you were in it, taking mine.
Every song I sang, your tunes hummed in my lips, you sang my tunes.
Every tear I shed, beside it laid your lies.
I thought you were perfect, built of stone, and built myself around you.
I thought you’d protect me, heal me, and give me strength.
Yet I fell lower than you, I fell lower than myself.
I had lost a part of me that you took, and wouldn’t return.
So I ran towards you one more time. Thinking falling for you once wasn’t enough.
Maybe second times a charm. Maybe a second time I’ll learn my mistakes and earn your love, blinding myself.
When in reality, I needed to build myself around myself.
Strength myself rather than you.
Because I wasn’t really part of your life right?
You we’re just part of mine.
You played the game so hard because you knew, at the end of the day, it’s my life that complex tears the fuck apart, not yours.
Your words don’t hurt me anymore.
Nor do your eyes.
I had given you much more than money and power. I had giving you the torch.
The torch to carry, and myself to follow.
Yet I take it all back now.
I didn’t want to let go.
But I needed to.
And when I did,
I became the best fucking version of myself I ever met.
And she will go strong.
And she wishes you luck, cause you’ll need it.
