The space you occupy makes it hard for me to breathe.
Walls closing in as you get near me.
I used to love the way you touch.
But now I feel a burning sensation even with the slightest contact.

Did I not love you enough
that you had to look somewhere else?
Did I not give you everything that I can give
that you went seeking out for more?
I wish you knew how empty I feel.
Because I selflessly gave my everything.

How do I even fix what is now broken?
Where do I even begin?
If for one moment I let my guard down,
I know I will submit.
Because I will stupidly believe your apologies.

I tried to erase all of you.
But I never realized how difficult it would be.
When I close my eyes, it's you that I see.
How all the good memories numbs me as I forget the bad ones.
As I doubt that letting you go was the best decision.

I must find the strenght to let you go.
And shield myself from your betrayal and pain.
I need to be whole again before I give my heart away to someone more deserving.
