When I was troubled, where were you?
I was falling...without you.
You said I could run to you,
but I had to run from you.
When that bridge fell,
The dust clouded my vision.
I couldn’t find my way,
So I grabbed what I could,
And sprinted.
I jumped at my first chance of escape.
When I found my way,
I came back
How could you push me again?
I thought I could trust you.
You sent me to a place,
Where you cannot see the sun.
They watch you.
They stalk you.
They try to solve you.
When I was released from the claws of that beast,
I didn’t come back.
You waited
And waited
You were angered when that seat got cold.
Life as you know it was gone.
Dead.
Destroyed.
You came at me,
Talons outstretched.
You attacked in every way possible.
Ripping the very things binding me to this life.
You laughed as The largest piece of me fell,
Into the black noiseless oblivion.
You expect me to come back,
Crawling on my knees,
Begging you to take me back.
I won’t.
For, I have learned:
Never come back.
