The Scars Remain

I let you make me believe your treatment of me was okay. I let you take me away, Even though you only ever wanted to go halfway. At that time, I didn’t think anything of it. Looking back, It seemed to be okay, Only because I didn’t realize how badly you would hurt me. And when you started slipping away from me, I tried to hold onto you. I held on Until I could feel the tighter I held you, The faster you wanted to leave. So I stopped holding on And I let you be. But I didn’t let go only for you to come back To me You came back When you left first you started it first. But when you came back, you didn’t think I was going to move on. You didn’t think I was able to love someone else. And to be honest, when you left me, I didn’t think I would ever be able to. You made me feel like I needed you, Like I couldn’t live without you. But when you came back, Things weren’t quite how you left them. And when I told you I moved on, That I was with the love of my life, You told me it was my fault. How I should have waited for you. How even though I found love when I wasn’t looking, That you believed you would never be able to truly love . And that made me hurt for you. But I can’t fix someone, especially someone who doesn’t want to be fixed. I tried to help you, I really did. You shouldn’t have to drown your feelings, Not the way you do. But even after everything you’ve done to me, I will always be there for you, Only in hopes that one day you’ll need me. In hopes that one day, You’ll get better.
