Chapter 61 - Despite the scars

Half the time we were together

We have now lived out apart.

It's been four years,

And I can't lie,

Sometimes that shit rips me apart.

I don't miss you,

I just wonder why

You had to stomp my heart?

Why you had to

treat me badly?

Leave me huddled

In the dark...

-

All the love I tried to give you,

You just took it all in stride.

But you never really wanted it,

You stared at me and lied.

You were comfortable

Unmovable.

You knew I'd never leave.

I was underestimated,

I had nothing up my sleeve...

-

I would have chased you all my days

Had I not found the strength to leave.

I was far too captivated.

I was led astray.

Deceived.

I was nothing there to you,

But you were everything to me.

I had nobody

To come save me

Your waves, I couldn't see.

-

I no longer sit and wonder.

I no longer care to think.

I have healed as best I can,

But there's still blood here in the sink.

I just run the hottest water

Till the ruby turns to pink.

And I'm not waiting

Not debating with my love

We weren't in sync.

-

I was more than good enough,

You never wanted shit from me...

Just the material things I offered you,

And my security...

You were selfish,

Thankless,

Ungrateful,

and plain fuckin' greedy.

I was lost for you,

It cost me too,

A price you'll never see.

-

Half the time we were together

We have now lived out apart...

I still wish you all the best

Despite the scars

Left in my heart...

I gave you nearly nine years

And you thought that

Was just the start...

I just beg you, stay away from me,

I can't replace the parts...
