I lost you, once
So long ago
You could hardly remember it
if I tried to tell you

The truth is I don't blame you
but it still hurts
A hundred years wouldn't be enough
to heal the pain you left

She was the one who took you, yes
but I didn't know until it was too late
and I could do nothing but stand and watch
as she took everything through you

First, it was you
missing and I was alone
taking care of what we used to have
and trying to stay strong

And then you come back
and I think it might be okay
Maybe we can fix it
But it's so much worse than I thought

Because she hurt him through you
and I watched as you broke his wings
and left him nearly dead
I couldn't stop you,
you were always stronger than me

And then she took you for good
took your mate mark
and then your wings
and finally your life

And I couldn't stop it
I'd lost everything in one day
and I mourned for so long
but it was never enough

I tried to fix it
tried to make it better
but I kept only breaking it
and I don't know what to do

I have someone else now
and I love him
but you're back
and I'm more lost than ever

I can't take you back
I can't go through that again
But I don't want to lose you entirely either
what am I supposed to do?
wrote this one a while back. Hope you enjoy.
