Picture perfect,
flawless in every way,
a thousand suns
couldn’t shine brighter than you;
but what you say
makes me see through
and suddenly it’s
like night and day;
now I see it’s more
of what you do
and no longer is a
pedestal where you stay.
It hurts so much
since I never had the chance
to heal from your
reckless moods;
always afraid of what
I would say or do.
Your anger boiling
over at the drop of a hat;
never realizing how
much I loved you;
and wondering how if
you loved me could do that.
Inside my emotions
cry while outside I hide,
like a statue devoid
of all that one can perceive.
Not letting you to
get the best of me though
barely alive inside
while I sadly grieve,
I bid my time when I
can finally leave and
wondering why did you
even carry me?
Time goes on and it
seems like there is no end;
I can’t lie you have
your good points
but I can’t go on
living in pretend.
You say you love me but
I don’t remember those days,
living on your habits
it seems it was you I raised;
sometimes the pain is
just better to forget.
Try as I may, I can’t
live on this way;
though I hoped for
the best, it won’t be.
Time for me to leave,
for me to be free,
your words no longer
carry any weight.
You say you will
always loved me;
I loved you, but now
it’s too late.
