I saw your face quite unexpectedly,
The aftermath has me reeling,
I try to remember how to breathe,
Memories spinning in my mind,
Trapped in a whirl wind of emotion,
I see the laughs, I feel the joy,
I see the fights and feel the agony,
I remember the love, the warmth,
I recall the devastating loneliness,
I hear the screams, I taste salty tears,
Though I walked away, the bond in my heart did not sever,
Though I cut the toxicity of you out of my life, I feel the poison linger,
I see you drowning in your self-made desolation,
I desire to save you…
Though the guilt of your demise weighs upon my soul,
I cannot be your liberator,
I cannot be your crutch,
You are the leech that drinks my life’s blood,
And now I leave you to die in the pit of misery,
You have created by alienating me
