Three Years

I never thought it would be you. How I feel shouldn't be this way, never knew. Never expected it to come. Three years gone and you still toy with me. You manipulate my heart until I scream, you control even my dreams. I've spent hours of my time going over what could've been. Thousands of minutes on way back when. I have tried to forget what just won't erase. It takes all of me not to remove that space. Countless tears and storms that continue to take control. Three years and I've not gotten far from your grip, you still love to take hold. What can't I leave? You stole my dreams and stomped on my confidence. I haven't been strong since. Just please let go! I never knew it would be you.
