Walking Away

I'm broken on the floor
with my sharp edges everywhere.
You dropped me without knowing
and left me bleeding bare.

You aren't the same anymore
but you never really changed.
You were always like this;
it's just now my heart is rearranged.

I'm sitting on weak knees
deaf to the voices in my head.
My vision is as blurry as my mind
for all the signs I've wrongly read.

You were the stars in the sky
but now a void in outer space.
You never used to be this way,
a reality I can't seem to face.

I'm slowly standing on wobbly legs
so that I can prove you wrong.
I might cry myself to sleep
but that only shows I'm strong.

I'm braver than I may seem
because I'm listening to my heart's song.
It's telling me to walk away
from a place I don't belong.

I thought you were good for me
at the very start of our times.
But now I'm turning my back on
every one of your little lies.

I'm walking —limping— away from
everything that was us,
from the beginning until yesterday
and everything treacherous.
