I don’t know if you ever heard me,
When I would tell you that I don’t need
You to fix me.

I have only ever asked you to love me
Broken while I mend the pieces.

It has only ever been about you.
And I am human, I bleed too.
But in my haste to always put you first,
I have forgotten myself entirely.
And now I am broken beyond repair.

We have moved from bad to worse,
From worse, to ruin.
Everything that we have built is in ashes
Around the center of what we’ve become.

When did it become this war between us?
Look how far we have fallen from our grace.
It’s become lethal, and now, nothing will be the same.

You have taken pieces of me dear.
You have taken the best pieces of me,
And turned them rotten, only to sew
Them back into my skin.

My spirit is broken,
And you! You have gotten everything you’ve wanted.
Was it everything you hoped it would be,
When you looked into my eyes
And fired the shot that killed me?

I am broken, and yet I still breathe.  
I can no longer look at you,
When I do, I see all the things,
I wanted us to be.

I no longer look at you with adoration.
Maybe you will hear me now,
When I tell you,
That there is nothing left to fix.
