When She Leaves

When she leaves, you become a vengeful guardian

Though you never noticed you were the one to be angry at

You were a phase gordian knot

Too far gone to save

When she leaves, I find myself picking up your broken pieces,

Watching as you tear yourself apart

And as your will to live decreases

When she leaves, you wind up a mess that can’t be fixed

I know you’re toxic to each other

Every time, we trick ourselves into denying it

When she leaves, danger and fighting become your entire world

I try to bring you back from a dystopia

Yet somehow you always curl back into the shadows of your mind

When she returned, you were ecstatic

Yet I knew you hid your anger

She was the only thought you had

And you still decided to play her emotions

Then the cycle repeated

And I’m back to picking up your broken pieces
