I don't want you back I just want the piece of me that I let slip through the cracks.
The cracks of your broken figure I tried to heal, the pain I wished you couldn't feel, My heart I sometimes wish I kept sealed.
Looking for love i could never truly feel.
Your words beautiful but untrue, a simple "I love you." Was Like melodies to my ears, a sentence I loved to hear.
Your job being to stay, to protect me and keep my fears at bay.
You failed.
But I imagined When I'd cry you'd say "It's okay, life isn't all black and gray."
I chased for the answers to my why's, "Why wasn't I good enough to be the sister you stayed for." "Why was it so easy for you to forget me."
The weight of such questions on my mind, it was hard to find the love in me to forgive.
Forgive without your acknowledgement of what you caused.
