Sad Truths
Sad truths
Can you ever leave me without dying inside?
Everytime I look at you I can see the pain in your eyes, the fake smiles, but the real tears
The day you took the pills I didn’t understand why, until the day you said sorry
You didn’t want to leave me and neither did I, so you died that night in a hospital
You never loved me did you?
Why wouldn’t you just leave me?
You were the saddest and happiest person I knew
I was your light in the dark and yet I could always see the sadness in your eyes
But the truth was, neither did I
That was the sad truth
I never loved you and you didn’t either
I got to attached, and yet I wasn’t the one that died
You were drowning and I was just walking away loving you
The happiest moments in my life were with you and so were the saddest ones
You warned me not to get to attached because you were broken, I told you maybe I could fix you but I ended up just like you
You act like the happiest person on this planet but when you get home you lock yourself in and visit the darkest place on this planet….. your mind
I wished I never realized the truths behind you because it unlocked mine too
The worst part of being sad is that I realize I used to love you more than myself
Truths can sometimes hurt, but not as much as you hurt me
