i waited, waited like a fool.
i was there when no one else was,
but you never noticed me.
you never waited for me when i needed
you the most, always leaving me behind
only to look back, making sure i was
still the faded shadow lingering
around your heart. you were getting better
as i was deteriorating. as you pushed
your last step from my shoulders to
rise out of this hole, you broke me down
one last time. you ran and ran only to find out
that you wouldn't make it far without me.
you don't need me anymore, and that's okay.
