What was

You didn’t say much
So I talked a lot
and did all the work.

But then I hadn’t
become any wiser
Only now I am
and you are gone

I don’t mind
because I never was in love

I wanted something
more than you
and who you were

It was all too hectic
I was manic
and you were too

Two lost souls
trying to give
each other
what we really
wanted ourselves

Two damaged souls
Never giving up

You weren’t strong enough
to survive
the loneliness
within and without

I came out on top
I don’t
forgive
who you were

but I forgive who
I was

now I am
