My thoughts never left you.
You were my obsession,
You radiated a luring light,
You didn't know who I was, but you made my world stop.
You were my perfection.
I thought for you to feel the same, was a wasting dream in my one-track mind,
I was wrong.
You hinted hope in my direction, I was too blindsided to even take notice,
You practically had to shove it down my throat for me to realize.
You thought that you liked me,
But I had already loved you for an eternity.
I was never happier than when you made me yours,
You were my once upon a time.
Everything was wrong in my realm of chaos but your loving light pierced through any darkness that fogged.
Happiness reflected from my heart at the expense of your comforting warmth.
I thought you were my right,
But once again I was wrong,
For you hurt me,
And you never knew because your happiness was worth more to me than my own.
I never wanted to see you dim the light you had once casted over my heart,
Or for you to see all the ash you had left behind from your flames.
I let you burn at my fingertips while I smiled to your gleaming eyes, but when I turned away I would uncage the tears that had built,
However the tears were never enough to put out the fire.
You did bring me joy,
But after passed time I had to craft the smile myself.
I was lost in a sense that we would live in that loop forever,
That when you had burnt up to my wrist I would just offer you my other hand and turn my cheek.
But I couldn't do that to myself.
That's why I let you go,
I lost you.
Although you had already lost me long ago.
I'll bear the cold on my lonesome,
And I'm better off that way;
Where it's too cold to light a match that could illuminate the precise path that should be taken to avoid all heartbreak,
I'm not your match,
And I'm sorry.
