"Back To Strangers"

You were once skeptical
about love,
trying to find evidence
to a belief
that someone will show you
that it still exists.

You’ve been hurt
and still learning
how to smile again,
you wandered the woods
and lost,
you were once brave enough
to face everything
but now a coward,
for those moments
you supposed to treasure
only caused you pain.

It was too late to save us,
now we’re back to strangers,
thinking when I told you
that I will protect you
from them,
someone should have protected
you from me.
