"Us"

The fact that we were so love
is the thing that tore us
into a million pieces.
Darkness consumed my heart,
and a chemical imbalance
ransacked my brain, turning my love
into the fear of losing you.

So I hid,
I closed the door
and what you saw was what
I thought would save you.

But here I am,
two years later
and it's 1 a.m
on a now Saturday morning.

Hot tears escape from my bloodshot eyes,
staining my cheeks
like a black marker,
while I'm evaluating
every single day
that we were one.

And I realize
maybe you were smart to leave
while you still could.
