Leaving Scars

You called me

To talk, to explain your side

To meet me and say

how horrible I was

how much effort you gave

while I wandered away

Frustration, loneliness, and confusion

Poured out of your soul

You acted like I didn’t know

All the pain I put you in

Did you ever wonder

That I came to my senses,

Saw what we had for what it was

knew it would not change

No matter how much you tried to explain

You made up an excuse to leave that day

I was left feeling attacked. And I never got to say…

You were too close

I could never get away

You wanted to chain me with a ring

Spin me a beautiful cage

put me on the tallest pedestal

Letting the world hear me sing

I said goodbye

Because I knew I would never fly
