I Wish You Hadn’t

You stepped in when you didn’t have to

and I’ll never know just why

but I wish you hadn’t

Because when it all became too much

and you slammed that door

you honestly hurt me just as much

as what you’d tried to help me through

You tore a wounded heart out

and left it bleeding on the floor

My world had just been glued together

Guess what? It shattered again

into pieces smaller and more numerous

Granted, that was my mistake

letting my dreams run free

ahead of reality

Thinking if I could just hang on

I’d have exactly what I wanted

A place where I belonged

A family to surround myself with

Others to share this life with

to love, support, and cherish

In the end it was too much

for me to ask of anyone

I lost the last one who cared

and thought I’d found someone else

that might care just enough

that I could get past missing her

Instead I turned out wrong

and instead of missing her

I get to alternate

between love and hate

Missing you and cursing you

in pretty equal measure

So next time you think your move

is to step in to something, anything,

be sure you can handle it

Don’t break the next one, okay?

It’s too late for me

I was already broken

All you did was make sure

the edges don’t line up
