You're on Your Own
You're on Your Own
The fact cannot be changed that it wasn't me;
But after all this time, why couldn’t you see?
All I had wanted was a smile on your face;
And though I tried everything, it wasn't my place.
It wasn't my place to be that one
Who, out of the clouds, would bring out your sun.
That place wasn't mine, yet I had thought it would be.
That's why the one that got hurt ended up being me.
So what, again and again, I've been patient and true?
So what if I'd decided to be strong for you?
After everything and the times I've been there,
It never mattered to you, so why should I care?
What made her efforts much grander than mine?
Why was she considered as one of a kind?
Why did you choose her tiny grain of sand
When the beach I built you was right in your hand?
Why did you come to me if you truly didn't want to?
Where did she go when you didn't know what to do?
Why was her simple action better than the rest?
What was it about her that exceeded my best?
Why did I stop you from ruining your life?
Why did I burden myself with your never-ending strife?
Why did I listen as you complained on and on?
Why did I bother even after you were gone?
Why do you think we're fine when it's far from so?
Where is the old, loving you that I used to know?
Where are the things I've done that came freely like rain?
Those kind words I gave, were they really all in vain?
Your laughter now echoes throughout my ears.
A bright look in your eyes has replaced all the tears.
A grin is on your face, but I don't care anymore.
What used to be an open heart is now a closed door.
Resentment and bitterness are growing inside;
And despite how much I hate it, the old me has died.
Stop whimpering to me, for I'm leaving you alone
Because here's the deal-you're now on your own.

You know who you are.
Well, actually, you don't but whatever.
That's all I'm saying here, haha. This is posted for Aris who wanted to read it :)
Peace out, home dogs.
