The Me I Left Behind
You don’t know what you did.
You don’t understand how dead I was inside.
You didn’t see the horror movie that was my mind.
You didn’t see because I didn’t let you see.
I didn’t let anyone see.
Then it happened.
You chipped the wall around my heart.
You finally saw the scars.
I finally told you the stories.
You wiped away my tears.
You embraced the parts of me that only knew pain.
I started to see I wasn’t alone.
You held me tight.
You never let go.
You saved me.
