Because of You

Because of you, I felt less alone

Because of you, I knew I had someone to talk to when things got tough

Because of you, I finally knew what a true best friend was

Because of you, I had ear to listen

Because of you, I had someone to share my passion with

Because of you, I had someone to help me understand things I had been shielded from

Because of you I was more confident in myself

Become of you I discovered the person who was hiding in the shadows, afraid to see the light

Because of you I laughed and cried more, and I found my voice

Because of you I had someone who loved me for all of my mess, and all my flaws

Because of you I had someone to share my secrets with, and someone to  keep them safe

I used to be your favorite reason

But now

Because of you I feel numb and cold

Because of you my heart is shattered into tiny pieces

Because of you I am cutting myself on the shards, hand dripping red, trying to put them back together

Because of you I have lost the light in my life that shone like a thousand suns

And because of you I have lost half of myself that you took, that I can never get back

************************

So now, I'll try my best to pick up all the pieces, and put them back into place.

I'll retreat back to my fortress and build my walls high and strong, so you will always be the only one who has a piece of me.

I'll always love you, and hope that you'll come back, but I know you won't, it may take a while to accept  that

But one day it will hurt less and I will finally heal, but I'll forever have this scar across my heart.

And I will always pull on the the tether that held us both together and know that your not there.

One day I'll won't feel this pain

But right now it's to much to much to bear.
