They say that you never know what you have until it’s gone,
But what do they know about loss?
What do they know about being blind to the blessings whilst you’re drowning in your own selfishness and greed?

He was a beacon of light in a valley of despair and darkness,
Illuminating her jagged path to success and happiness,
Whilst draining the light inside of himself that kept him afloat.

The voices in her head told her to take what she needed,
Without a second thought to how it affected those around her,
Even if it meant breaking the heart of the only person who could ever love her without
condition.

She was on a road to self-combustion and destruction,
Falling down the rabbit hole faster than Alice,
Whilst dragging him down with her against his will.

She damaged him, chipping away at his heart whilst continuing to take,
Until one day she pushed him to the edge and he toppled,
His lifeless body drained of everything that was keeping him human.

Without her, he began to thrive again,
Slowly re-growing his roots and finding himself,
Finding the person he used to be before her.

Now she’s broken and alone for she left the person who loved her,
The person who bent over backwards in order to support her,
But she made her bed, and now she has to die in it.
