With Or Without

I'm giving up on you, 
it is not because I want to, 
but because it is not fair 
how you never noticed I had always been there. 

May walking under the moon,  
how well we were strewn 
I was scared and you were too
but I noticed I was safe with you. 

I wish I knew
purity it's not always true
demons can look like angels
and rip off all our written pages.

We were so hollow
without a path to follow
you think I don't remember,
but how can I forget when you decided to surrender.


You gave me that fire
that used to put me into a mire
even if it wasn’t real
you’d always make me keel.

How we would collapse,
Always a never ending lapse, 

Got lost weeping
that I never saw your bleeding  
your feelings faded apart
And I always knew that.

Despite the pain
you could have stopped the rain
but you did not care
leaving my heart bare.

After all the rocks you threw me 
and the nights I didn’t flee,
I felt again for your sprawl 
allowing you to appall.

But I appreciate,
because I gained a new trait
Forgiving and not looking back,
Cause while doing it you may not find your way back.
