We almost had it all
I blame your ego for our downfall
You blame my insecurities
we both displayed immaturities
You know?, I still replay it all in my head
The day you left,
you wanted me to solicit
you derived joy in seeing me helpless
but that day, my anxiety froze. I wasn't anxious
I didn't move while you headed for the door
I felt helpless, just what you wanted
Only I didn't even utter a word,
Look at us now, but if you had turned to take a look at me
You'd have seen my silent plea
If you had listened harder instead of to the sound of your own voice
You'd have heard my silent screams,
begging you to stay
I stood there internally petrified
and watched as you coldly departed
you never looked back once,
at that moment, I knew I had to stop being a shadow at ones
I could finally breathe in
I felt like a caged bird set free
I'm glad you left me
because I learnt to love you less
and love me more.
