i often ask what might have been
had you not left or
not become poisoned by
the people around us.
i fell for you because you were
brave and funny and
you were good to me.
but you faltered.
you became cruel to me
when all i ever did was support
you and give you the shirt off
of my own back.
i loved you with such a burning
passion and with such heavy
sobs of romance that i couldn't
bring myself to
really ever let you go.
you're still with me, even though
you are not who you
once were.
