There was a time in my life
When I truly believed I loved you
More than anything else in the world
But your love soon became a knife
And it was my blood it drew
Your wrath then began to unfurl

I was dying, stabbed by your wicked heart
You were lying, playing on my dreams.
When I had nothing more left to give,
I ran far from you even as I was falling apart
The times we shared were marred, ripped at the seams
It was not something I wanted to relive

The wind at my back pushed me forward
Though I did not know what I was heading toward
All I knew was that I had to get away
I wouldn’t listen to anything you tried to say
Your begging was whiny and annoying
Insistent as you were, I saw it as toying

Ten years later, I came back much stronger
Your fortified walls were seemingly no longer
I saw you as weak and poor, no confidence on your shoulders
In my memory, you had been much bolder
Now you stood with your hands at your sides and back hunched over
You could not have looked any older

Sympathetic as I felt, I shook my head
In my mind, I had kept you dead
Neither help nor heart was offered
I merely smiled sadly at how much our futures differed
How time went by changed us from our past
I was hardly surprised how short yours had last.
