You've fallen.

He's dropped you.

He promised he'd catch you,

But he failed.

He promised he'd help,

But he failed.

He promised he'd stop

Causing himself

Such pain,

But he failed.

He didn't get out,

Get out while he could.

He's stuck to her,

Unable to move

A fly in a spiderweb.

But he promised you,

He'd find a way to get free.

For you.

For him.

For the fragile concept 

Of "us," together,

That I wish I'd never believed

From the start.

I should've known that he'd cave.

I should've known that this

Could not

End well

For me.

When has it ever?

He dropped me.
