Finding Myself in Losing You


I seek truth in your eyes, find lies I never knew existed and wonder how stained is your soul? I wish to discover purity caged within you, to dig deep until I can uncover the purpose of deception. . Sing to me, voice full of cracks and heartbreak: "I never meant to hurt you." But how can I trust your words when your testimony has been flawed since the moment your lips became an echoing canyon? I placed honesty in your bones and hoped you could bloom... . I always stopped short of leaving -- couldn't see my future without the sound of your voice, praying that one day you would see . I tried so hard for you. I always tried so hard for you. . I finally pulled myself away, and the next time you reached for my hand it wasn't there to grab. I am struggling to fly on my own, but I will still soar above your treachery. . I do not belong to you, my soul no longer bleeds and I have found that I no longer wonder about the state of yours. . Nevertheless, I hope you break free.
