Rebuilt

I rebuilt my world

with you two at the center

and that was my mistake

I never asked

never considered

the fact that you weren’t willing

the thought that you weren’t ready

the comolete lack of consent

to holding up a broken man

I put too much on you

and now I stand here empty

pieces falling down around me

as I realize you never even knew

where you were

Painstaking reconstruction

ruined by missing forethought

and the only one I have to blame is me

When I look back on my life

I want there to be a reason

a purpose

something left behind

to mark it as a worthy one

I thought the point had shifted

to one centered around you

but I never stopped to question

if that was what you wanted

A stupid selfish moment

a lifeline as I was drowning

that I held onto far too long

Been here before, I’m sad to say

I have a habit of delusion

so don’t mind me as you walk away

I’ve done this to myself befote

it turns out the same way every time

You’d think I’d know better

but it’s not a lesson that ever seems to stick

So I’m sure I’ll rebuild again

and find myself again in ashes

It’s just what I do

and you’re better off paying no mind

I’m just damaged goods
