369 Days

Bruises crawl out of my body only after a few days,
but promises exist in permanence even when broken.

 

369 days and I am still confused.
369 days and I can barely cry.
369 days and I still wonder how I got here.
369 days and I was right to fear you.
369 days and I wish we never met.
369 days and I wish your words would get out of my head.

 

It\'s my fault.
It\'s all my fault.
369 days and I still blame myself.

 

I don\'t deserve what I thought I had.
It\'s been so long but it feels like it\'s everyday.
It\'s been so many days now.
Why won\'t the words go away?
I\'m suffering alone, aren\'t I?
The world keeps spinning and my brain won\'t stop either.
You loved people and loved the world but you did not love me,
and I can\'t stop trying to figure out what everyone else has that I don\'t.

 

\"We are here because you made the mistake of not leaving the man that hurt you before me.\"
\"I didn\'t ask for anything that you did for me.\"
\"I treated you better. I treated you exceptionally well.\"
\"I manipulated you.\"

 

It\'s my fault.
It\'s all my fault.
369 days and it\'s all my fault.
