Because of You (11/24/12)

Because of you, it’s not even sidewalks that I dare near
I stay indoors where no one can see me and question my actions
I hate playing everything safe, but the pain just hurts too badly
We promised to love each other eternally and more
Yet my trust in you is less than it was before
Don’t want to look weak in front of you
Or pretend that everything is ok,
So as not to worry anyone else

I’ve cried inches from your side
And you didn’t even notice
I can’t cry in the middle of the night
For fear that you’ll hear me and overreact
I hate that you won’t give me space or let me breathe
When it’s you that has hurt me so deeply
I would rather keep everyone out of my heart
Than be afraid to take another step in this world

It’s because of you that I became who I wanted to be
But that was then, this is now, and I have no control
I want to ignore you, make you suffer the pain I feel
But vengeance and rage are not things I know how to deal with
So I’ll just hide inside until the coast is clear
Until what happened is forgotten to everyone
But the person that wallows deep within my soul
Piece by piece, the real me will probably disappear

The shame becomes too much for even the strongest
And because of you I don’t know how to live any longer in this world of fools
