You said you weren't coming home with me.
And my heart dropped.
You weren't there to catch it.

Your sleepless nights became my tearful eyes.
But I didn't let you see,
I put on a disguise.

I felt so vulnerable,
So alone.
Your arms no longer a home.

I shared my secrets with you,
The **** I've been through,
But you said you barely know me.

You lied to my face when I saw no bag.
You let me be happy, thinking you saved me from the sad.
Your bad.

You robbed me of a smile when I needed it most.
You stole the host.
You drank the wine, then said it's not fine.

You think I'm strong but I'm not.
I cried after you left.
Tears and fears creeped and seeped.
The hug didn't help.

You got lost in my reflection, not looking beneath the surface.
So goodbye, farewell, because I know I'm worth it.
