I Lost You
Once upon a time
you cared for me
and about me
when no one else seemed to.
You even cared about me
even though I said and
did the things I did.
You warned me of the future,
about what would happen.
I didn't believe it would happen,
When it did, I didn't want to believe it.
I caused even more problems
and dug myself deeper in to despair
and pushed everyone away.
Burnt my bridges
became nothing to many.
I was told I didn't care
about you
about the family,
about anyone but myself.
But I know that I do
care and love you all.
And I know I could care less
about myself.
I can't explain my actions
I only know my feelings.
At most times I felt as though I should
just leave,
like everyone suggested,
But I feared losing everyone,
and being alone in the world.
I screwed up beyond
repair of anything.
I have not much trust by you,
nothing of sentimental value,
because of me and how I was with those who cared.
Once upon a time
a family cared for
and about me.
Then I ruined it.
