As the Autumn leaves fall,
so does our very foundation.

I feel like I'm watching the destruction of everything we fought for in slow motion.

I feel sick.

I feel meaningless, and dead.
Once filled with love and joy,
This soul of mine is now empty.

I should have realized things were too good to be true.
You loved me too much for it to be real.

I should have expected it.
In hindsight it's all there.

The distance.
The accusations.
The distrust.
The selfishness.

You were never in it for us,
You were only in it for the benefits it provided.

I gave you a shoulder to cry on,
A roof over your head,
Food to eat,
A place to sleep,
Compassion and support.

I helped you out of your hole just so you could walk away.
Once your needs were met, I was no longer one of them.
