You
You tell me I'm not good enough
With each and every word
That will ever leave your lips
Where emotions are stronger than words
And words are stronger than emotions
And you are stronger than me
In a world where I can't possibly be stronger than you
But somehow, I think I am.
You
You leave me out in the dark
To find my own way in the world
With traps that were set for both you and me
Traps we've both tripped over time and again
As we fall and fall and fall
Ever farther, ever deeper
Until we hit rock bottom
Of this endless abyss we thought we could climb out of.
You
I've learned to hate you through the years
Of fighting myself
As I tried not to hate you
For being all that you were
But not being all that you were for me
When maybe, that was all I wanted.
