Split in Two

Split in two by the pain that I face. 

The past and the present I can not erase.

In my head, I know I had to let you go,

In my heart, it mourns the loss it should never know. 

For you, that tore my heart apart,

Placing blame where it never did start.

The truth that hid in the shadows never to appear,

Now the future seems to be so unclear. 

Your heart that is made of stone, 

Never meant for someone who could have never known.

You hide behind the mask that got you this far,

While all you did along the way was leave scars.

To the ones you owe the most,

How is it that you are practically a ghost?

The screams that rattled around this house,

Forever remembered, you can not douse.

For the pain you caused is etched in my skin,

While you go about your life with a grin.

You didn’t see my worth until I was gone,

For me, it only made me more strong. 

I hope you find the help that you need,

But it won’t be while I bleed.

I owe myself more than you can ever give,

Now that I get to live.
