This pain is too much for me to handle.
My chest squeezes my heart in a way that makes it impossible to breathe.
I miss you, oh God I miss you.

I loved you, oh how very much I loved you,
and I can tell you that with every waking breath that I breathe
but you will never believe me.
All you've chosen to remember is the day I left you.
You seem to have forgotten that I was always there for you,
until the day came that I grew old of you always pushing me away.
I gave you every piece of my heart.
It was only until you took everything and I was left with nothing that I realized
I needed someone willing to build me up, not tear me down.
Oh how I love you

I was a moth.
Drawn to your flame, yet unable to get close without feeling the searing pain you’d inflict upon me each time.
And yet, I could never stay away.
However,
there came a time in which I learned to instead bask in the sweet nectar of another.
And it was then that I finally became appealing to you.

In the time that I had believed you were angry with  me, never once did I consider the possibility that all along it was you mad at yourself.
And since that day I’ve made my hugs a little tighter, for I realized just how broken you truly are. And maybe, just maybe i’ll hold you long enough to glue your pieces back together.

You knew I was crying yet you chose to leave.
You knew I was angry and you blamed me for it.
You knew I was afraid and you showed me no comfort.
You knew I was happy yet you managed to bring me down.

I knew you were crying so I chose to stay.
I knew you were angry and I understood.
I knew you were afraid and I encouraged you.
I knew you were happy so I did everything to keep you that way.

You knew I was broken yet you threw me to the ground.
I knew you were broken so I held you tight.

I loved you, yet was shown no love in return.
