Before I met him I was broken
I was damaged
He mended me back together
he taught me things that made me stronger
I knew I needed him
more than he needed me
I knew it
but I didn't want to let him go
I thought I could never find someone like him anymore
I was terrified of being alone
he was the only one who could make me feel alive
He gave me a sense of direction in his life
A purpose.
But when he left me,
that kind of feeling
- that numbness -
doesn't go away easily.
It tears you apart
rips out your soul
until nothing's left
and you're left broken again
