What You Left Behind

She says I'm selfish
She says I'm cruel
She says all of these things
That I know aren't true
I'm just trying to find
A way to get through
I've lost a part of myself
That I can never get back
But instead of helping me
You leave me
To find my own way back
You leave me
To fight this battle on my own
Knowing that I need you
You walk away and go home
How can I trust or love someone
Who could do this to me ?
Turn their back and walk away
from me
The person that I thought
I needed the most
Is now the person I want to go
I gave you my life
And everything more
But still you resented me
And walked out that door
I cried and pleaded
For you to stay
Yet you looked me in the eyes
And told me to go away
The memories of that day
Stay fresh in my mind
All of the tears that I've cried
Now my eyes stay dry
I wish you the best in life
I hope you see
What a great friend
You've left behind
I'm leaving your life now
To never return
When you look back
I hope you realize
What you have done
