Afraid To Let Go Of Love


I Love you,

I miss you,

One day.

 

Every I love you,

Every I miss you hurts more than a punch to the face

Maybe one day I will forget all the false promises.

Maybe one day.

 

Don't call me crazy,

For wanting the truth.

Don't call me lazy,

For trying to fix the broken relationship between us two.

 

What was once a fairytale story is now a story that we mourn

Our love died in my arms

Refusing to let go

I tried so hard to rebuild our hearts.

 

You made be believe it was my fault.

Every scar,

Every black eye,

Every bruise,

Told me otherwise.

 

I dealt with

The broken glass,

The shattered picture frames,

The holes in the walls.

Because I loved you.

 

Just because I love you doesn’t mean,

I had to deal with the damage you caused me.

You made me feel like I was nothing.

You broke me down.

Bit by bit

I lost myself.

Just because I love you doesn’t mean I had to deal with the abuse you caused me.
