it's devastating
loving you and trying to leave despite that
i underestimated
how hard you'd actually fight to come back
seeing the effort
almost makes me wish things were different
but i know you'll never
be a person i could ever trust again
and you love me
or so you say as you undercut and avoid
all or nothing
it seems there is no other choice
boundaries firm
as i grieve for a home i never knew
and it's just the worst
the backtracking and sugarcoating and rearranging of truth
so now i'm far
enough to feel all the holes my soul leaks from
and my battered heart
is bracing for the hurt thats yet to come

home isnt where youre from
its the people you love that love you
you said you love me
so why'd you do it
i have to go now
you made me do this
bravo
