why did i always have to rebuild myself
when i was with you?
why was it,
that whenever you spoke-
it was harsh and unforgiving,
and all i did was make excuses for you
inside my head.
but you know what the worst of it was?
when you said to me,
'you’d be a wreck if it wasn’t for me'
and you know what I then realized?
'i am a wreck because of you.'

/because of you/
