we both hurt each other
but you moved on
and im still alone
i struggle every day with the damage I was left with
i punish myself, for what I did
by keeping everyone at arms length
refusing to let anyone in
refusing to develop connections
we fell apart
and it feels like I still haven’t fully put myself back together
i don’t even know how to
you picked up the pieces and kept going
you met someone new
and then again, someone new
you made it look effortless
i thought maybe I was being punished
for the way I treated you
this is just what I deserved
but we both hurt each other
so why is this so easy for you
it’s impossible for me
i’ve met so many people
they come and they go
but, in the end, i get hurt
and that’s just how it goes
you took my pain, and now the world is handing it back to me
