"Walking away was never something I learned how to do, but you'd never expect that from someone whose always gotten walked out on. And you have to believe me when I say I'm trying, but how are you supposed to forget the only person who ever made you feel like... A person? And even when you're gone, it doesn't feel like you're gone. So maybe that's the reason I'm still losing myself to someone who isn't even accepting the pieces anymore. And I'm still looking to you for all the answers even though you seem to be the one creating all the questions. And I'd shatter every clock I can find, if it would stop time from moving on without you. And even though we're a thousand broken promises away from where we should be, I can promise you there will be no abandoning ship this time... And I almost hate to admit that this isn't an act of determination, but better explained as a paralyzing fear. And I'm sorry that "goodbye" is starting to sound more like "I can't, I can't, I can't... " . The only place I was ever taught about letting go was in an overcrowded hospital room, so you'll have to forgive me for not being properly educated on the subject. I'm sorry, but I just can't get past this... "

It’s just
You were one of the few people who helped me
When I really ******* needed it
You never once ditched me
Or made me feel like I was bothering you
So why now
Everything has changed?
Is it just me?
What happened to you?
It’s just hard to forget the ones
Who helped you in a way you can’t repay
Who didn’t let you slip away
If you didn’t let me before
Why are you now

I am a vicious combination of too many wrongs and too few rights.
I am a toxic mixture of hatred and depression that will leave you sick to your stomach.
I am the acid that melts castles to the ground, and unfortunately, I am what melted those castles together in the first place.
I am weak cement and crumble under pressure.
I am everything I wish I wasn't.
And my greatest fear is becoming more self-aware.

I never told you..
But sometimes I go to the top of a hill
And think of the ways you make me feel.

I never told you..
That sometimes at night I stare at the stars
And remember the way you fade my scars.

I never told you..
That sometimes at night in the pale moonlight
I cuddle the teddy you gave me real tight.

I never told you..
That often at night I dream of you
And I'm always hoping you dream of me too.

I never told you..
Because when the day comes and I see you again
I look in your eyes and see more than a friend.

I never told you about the hill,
I never told you and I never will.

You broke my fall, but I think the fall broke you.

It is not
Those that live
In the shadow
Of night
Who fear
What may come
To light.

It is
Those that bask
In the sun's glow
Who fear
What they have left
In the dark.
