I Loved You While You Pushed Me Away

I Loved You While You Pushed Me Away
I loved you through your sharpened tone,
Through battles I never began.
You saw your past in my quiet eyes,
And punished me like I was him.

Your words hit hard, your silence worse,
You swung old pain like it was new.
I paid for sins I never lived,
Still stayed, still tried, still chose you.

You pushed me back when I reached in,
Called my patience weakness, my love a lie.
I bled in places I couldn’t explain,
While you said you were scared I’d leave your side.

You held yesterday tight in your chest,
Used it as armor, blade, and shield.
I begged you to let the past stay dead,
But you refused to let it heal.

I didn’t leave because I stopped loving,
I left ‘cause love should never bruise.
Sometimes saving what’s left of yourself
Means walking away… even when you lose.
