I Was the One
I watched you walk away and was powerless to stop it.
I stood by while you destroyed my universe.
Everything I thought was mine, you took away.
You turned my world upside down
I trusted you to keep me safe.
I trusted you to protect me.
You turned out to be the one I needed protection from.
I would have never thought you hurt me.
I was blinded by your definition of what love is.
Now I'm the lost without anyone in the world.
I had to learn to love and trust the person I was taught to hate.
I had to disguise who I was and what I felt.
I was the one who hid from the world.
Afraid of anyone who could hurt me.
Because I trusted you and you betrayed me.
I was the one who was forced to feel unworthy.
I was the one who was always lost in a world where I couldn't love anybody.
Now I have to see you and feel that pain.
Now I am the one who is forever an eight year old.
I am the one who's destroyed every time you walk away.
And all I want is an apology.
All I want is what you will never give me.
