i loved you more than anyone
i watered and adjusted our love to the sun
i watched it grow and blossom
and it only kept growing
it filled the blank spaces
it filled the emptiness
it was comfortable and safe
it was complimented and made sense

suddenly you stopped watering it
it never grew the same
i tried so hard to keep it alive
i tried to hard to make sure it was okay,
but without you it wilted.

i think you realized it was dying
you started giving it more attention
you started to try and find the right light
you bragged about it to your friends
you did everything you could.

why would i water it
why would i let it feed off my air
why would i let it occupy my space
why would i let it consume me,
when you let it die in the first place.

now there’s a hole.
in my space.
in my mind.
in my heart.
you stopped, i stopped, it’ll never be the same
unless we both care for it again.
