Thanks For Giving Me the Strength To Leave You
I wish I could tell you what you long to hear,
Instead I find myself choking on words held in for too long...
You act as if things are as simple as "I'm sorry..I'll change"
But this time I remain steadfast and strong...
I let you tear me down,
Until there was nothing more than a fragile child,
Too afraid to speak or move,
Even to scared to smile..
You beg and you plea that I will return,
The tears stream down your cheeks,
I ask myself why do I care how you feel,
When you never seemed to care for me...
I tried to open up to you,
And ask why you were pushing me away,
I tried to fix things before they got too broken,
But you didn't care about what I had to say..
I was the one trying to hold us together,
You always kept me at arms length,
When you shunned me and ignored my existence,
Little did you know it was causing me to grow in strength..
