Growth
You've become a fairytale to me,
someone perfect that I made up in my head
You're the one that I got stuck on,
but weren't meant to be in the end.
And don't get me wrong, you are a good guy,
romantic, with so much potential
But every time I opened up to you
it was all the same; the way you fall is sequential.
You pull me in with your charm,
tell me that this time you're here to stay
But everything you feel is so temporary,
while I knew that about you, I'd always feel the same.
The last time you left, you ripped open my chest,
shattered my heart like a bullet at point blank
And I've screamed out for you in times of desperate need,
but your problems are so loud, you don't hear a sound I make.
It was always supposed to be you,
until I was hurting and you were MIA
And that night I spent alone caused me to grow,
while you remained a boy, still exactly the same.
So if you ever learn how to love,
I hope you'll understand why I did it
I didn't stop loving you,
I just couldn't keep being the only one fighting.
