You Asked For Space

rawaneigh.99

 

You asked for space,
And I gave it.
Even though it felt like carving pieces of myself
And handing them to the void,
I gave it all to you.

But now I’m sitting here,
Crying, shaking,
Wondering if the space you wanted
Was just an escape
From me.

Is it because of me?
Or did you find someone better,
Someone who didn’t need to be asked to leave,
Someone who fit perfectly
In the gaps where I fell apart?

I trace back every word I said,
Every touch, every fight, every silence,
Trying to understand.
What did I do wrong?
Was I too much for you?
Or maybe not enough
For myself?

You asked for space,
And I gave you the world.
But now I sit here in the emptiness,
Choking on the echoes of what we used to be.

Did you love me?
Or was I just holding your place
Until you found the person you were really looking for?

    A Emotional read regarding how we beat ourselves up, when we do not know the answers and feel rejected and then just make ourselves feel worse. When we feel like this, it is us who need the space, take Care
