You said you'd be better without me, and I tried not to take it to heart because I knew it was true. I shatter everything I touch and you were too perfect for that. You put a hand on the side of my face and said one day I'd be okay. One day I'd find someone who was right. You meant one day there'd be someone who could handle me. Because I'm someone who needs to be handled and you knew it better than anyone. I need someone to shelter me and pick up the mess I leave. You said I'd be okay, but we both knew it wasn't true. I'm never okay. Sometimes, I'm less of a wreck than usual and that's the closest I come. You said you care about me and want me to be happy. And maybe it was true, but it doesn't matter. You said you'd be better without me and those words were the only ones that mattered.
