Leaving was easier for the both of us,
Breaking was easier for me,
Loving was harder for you.

You got caught up in my aura,
I told you it's dangerous.
You were too busy to hear over the voices in your head.

Through all of the long nights and drunken manic episodes,
Through all of the screaming,
Through all of the brokenness,
We made it.

I guess you didn't realize what I'd done to you until you finally looked down at your arms and saw the bruises,
The cuts.
You saw how hollow you were in the mirrors.
I drained you of your emotion so I could feel something.

You decided your only option was to leave.
I applaud you for finding a way out of this addictive pain,
But I know I'll never get away.
The shows over,
The lights go dim.
You're gone.
What have I done?
