It is not that I don't love you, Unfortunately,
I do,
But,
This Love has become TOXIC, your influence CAUSTIC And,
I can not allow you to distract me,
from the person I want to be, Pick and choose the pieces of me that you'd would like to keep.
It is not that I don't love you,
Believe me I do,
I spend countless hours,
Blaming myself for all that has transpired,
Even now I miss your fire,
I wish that you were here,
But I can no longer watch as pieces of me disappear,
To fill this empty vacuum,
The well of your despair,
A whirlpool of insecurity, death for all who dare, who hope to find the light within you, the one that isn't there
I remember once I told you, love is not about what you loose,
It's not about the parts of you that others swallow up or use,
It's about inspiration, and truth, and hope, and faith,
About kindness, respect and responsibility,
Not about what you take
It's hard to say if you ever possessed those things, even at the start,
But I watched as pieces of you slipped into the dark,
And I let you take me with YOU,
I got lost in all the mess
But I won't let you keep me,
Oppressed by all the shame
the woe you laid upon me,
the sin I have to bear,
Its not that I don't love you... believe me....I still care.... But I've learned to stop chasing what was really never there, and grow the light inside me, I've learned from this mistake
To bend but not to break.
