Before, I felt something missing
Something lacking
A small empty space is in my heart
I can feel it, just a piece

Then you came like a raging storm
I did not fear you, I did not cower
Instead, like a moth to a flame
I drew closer to your fire

You showed me a lot
A lot which I cannot contain
My cup is full
Full of you, which by my own, I cannot gain

You filled that missing piece
You have given me more than I expected
More than I can handle
More than I was missing

Then just like a storm that is fleeting
You left as fast as you came
As strong as before
You left my land with a piece to live for

I was missing a piece before you happened
And now you left me, I’m all alone
Nothing but a single thing salvaged from the storm
A piece of me is all I have, is all I own.
We are weak and human in all sorts of places,
hide them in all walks and spaces.

Savaged beasts.
Oppressed humans.
Corrupted souls.
Intolerable actions.
Eternal pain.
Tainted hearts.
Y**earning minds.
Commitment issues aren't that hard to have when you have nothing and no one.

Being all alone, the only thing I have to commit to is breathing

And I've grown quiet fond of that...
But who knows if that is permanent
And as you held your bags
preparing to leave,

I felt pain

the kind of pain you feel
when a terrible bruise starts to fade away
when you know the worst has passed

don't you get it?
you were my bruise

and despite the pain I felt
I am truly glad you left
