Without You By My Side

When I ran off
I knew it was right
The pain you put me through
Unbearable bruises

Words thrown
With unknown reasons
But my heart knew
You would end me

The love we shared
Diminished into hate
Seeing you for the monster
Everyone else told me you were

I should have listened
But You had me
You had me like a stranger
With a lollipop

Your eyes brought me comfort
But know only fear
I'll fight you now
Just to be free

I know I have more
I can go anywhere I please
With the help of my peers
You will be a distant memory

Good luck finding me
You won't come out of alive
But I'm flourishing already
Without you by my side...
