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.
