Easier To Leave
You did not know
How hard it could be
To let go of a poison
Stronger than me
You held on to hope
One day she will be well
Not knowing your contribution
As I drifted into hell
Knowing not spiteful
But nonetheless
My illness fed
I began to regress
Lithium did not cure
My unworthiness
No chemical fix
For purposelessness
Feelings from my past
Of never quite enough
Despite your encouragement
I fled in a huff
In my addiction
I always lied
Because you saw me
A shame I could not hide
