Me and You

When I said "I love you," I thought it was true.
But who I loved was the person I could make you into.
Your hero was what I wanted to be
Because in saving you- I would save me.
Something within me said, " This isn't meant to be"
But I pushed it aside and refused to see
Even when our little fights turned into wars
Wounding with insecurities that caused deeper scars.
It was my fault for holding on so tight
When it was clear we were sinking in a sea of lies.
I ended up hating you for one reason or another
And looking back on it still makes me shudder.
For it was not our differences that caused the bitter end
You were the mirror in which I saw a twisted version of myself.
