Cassidy
How did we get to where we are
How does that turn into this
One minute, we were pulling the rope in the same direction
Leading with affection
Then we ended up indifferent
But why did it have to be different
You told me I would hurt for a while
But the hurt didn’t come for a mile
Nothing
I felt nothing
Until I thought it all
Until I fell all at once
Crumbling into pieces
Lying on the floor in a pool of tears
Drowning in your words
Drowning in the hurt
It’s not fair
My words were the weapon
But you pulled the trigger
Pushing my limits
Pushing me till I broke
I couldn’t take it
I couldn’t swallow your words
The three words you told me
But only when you were hurting
Holding liquid courage
Blaming me for the damage
But you didn’t see my hurt
OR hear My words
So why did you do it?
My friends warned me
My kindness and compassion blinded me
I was naive
I was younger
Inexperienced
Innocent
But now I am tainted by you
Those two words you told me
When you were drunk
That’s when it always comes out
Holding on to me with affection
And loving eyes
Luscious lips
Which are shooting out bullets
That stabbed me in the heart
2 words I have never heard you say before
And here I am again
On the floor
In a pool of my own fears
Questioning how I got here
Questioning why you get to be happy
You didn’t have to cut me off
But you cut me deep
I hate you
And you hate me
What started with a kiss
Ended in tragedy
gravity and mortality
Now replaced with Cassidy
