Once Upon A Time

2. A Scar

It all started when you came,

Feeling scared to the new environment,

An alien to our world,

I approached youㅡa smile on my face,

And said "hey, wanna play a game?"

A glimmer in your eyes,

A glow to your smile,

We talked, we laughed,

And that's how we became.

It started out small,

A seed planted to the ground,

Little by little,

It grewㅡstrong and tall.

We had our ups and downs,

Yet hand in hand,

Side by side,

We enjoyed the ride,

Laughing, crying, screaming,

Our very own rollercoaster.

We talked for hours,

In another universe,

Just you and I,

We dreamed of castles, unicorns, and prince charming,

A happily ever after.

We had our insecurities,

We fought a lot,

Darkness hovering around us,

Our demons pull us apart,

When we lose hope,

Thinking nothing would ever be the same,

We bump into each other,

Fate always brings us together.

Almost my whole life,

I thought I knew,

My other half,

My soul mate,

My best friend,

Then everything changed,

And it was all too sudden,

I couldn't comprehend.

We both fought our own battles,

And you won,

But I seemed to be stuck,

Still battling the same monsters,

For half of my viability.

I wore a mask to hide,

I faked my happiness,

All the smiles that I wore,

Fake as the kindness of most people.

I didn't want to worry,

It wasn't worth it,

A burdenㅡI was,

Yet I was slowly crumbling under the pressure,

The pain is consuming me,

It was the dark cloud,

And I was the sun,

Gradually fading away.

When I couldn't handle,

I turn to you for help,

My rock,

The only thing keeping me sane,

The stone pillars underneath my disintegrated bridge,

The person that I thought would always remain.

You were scared,

Frightened,

You let fear control your mind,

And you left,

Turned your back on me,

I was stunned at how easy it was for you,

To just leave me behind,

All alone in my misery.

And I waited,

Like the idiot I am,

I waited for you to return,

But you didn't,

And I still waited,

Hoping, desperately wishing,

You'll be back,

And you'll be there for me,

Be my friend again,

But you didn't.

I thought you'd stay,

Keep your promise,

Never thought you'd betray,

Did you have fun?

Using me?

You loved to sugarcoat the bullshit,

When was the last time you were truly honest with me?

I wanted the commitment,

But all you wanted was to play,

You were the master, I was the puppet.

I wanted to overcome the problems,

But you ignored them like the plague.

I chased after you,

But you were Jerry, I was Tom,

It's a constant, vicious cycle,

Going on and on, nonstop,

I couldn't help but feel useless.

It's okay,

It's alright,

I'm used to abandonment,

To disappointment,

You were another mark,

Another wound,

To my collection,

All I had to do was say goodbye,

And you became a scar.
