As I perch by my window at night
Bathing in the moon’s soft silver light
I think of you
And wonder if you think of me too
Do I ever cross your mind
The one who left you behind
I wonder if you’re doing fine
I left you broken, desperate, and scared
Every minute, every second I wonder how you’ve faired
Sailing alone on a tumultuous sea
But think also of what you did to me
Hours to days, days to years
How often did I hold back my tears
You deserted me first, shattered, alone, and defeated
Without you there, my strength became depleted
Still unsure if you even cared
I, too, was beyond scared
I had no choice
I had to raise my voice
I held on tight
And gave one hell of a fight
But I offered you, too, salvation
If you only accepted my invitation
So forget the pain you feel this night
To stop and wonder who’s wrong and who’s right
