But Maybe

I don't want to go outside

But maybe

The sun will make me happy again

I don't want to help myself

But maybe

I deserve more than this pain

I can't stand to see your face

But maybe

Seeing you will make me stronger

I can't stand you next to me

But maybe

I'll remember why we no longer share a bed 

I won't let you tear me down

But maybe

You will be the reason I fight so hard

I still let you break my heart

But maybe

It will remind me of why I'm damaged

This was strong except for one stanza and I'm not sure it sounds like what you meant.
I can't stand you next to me
But maybe
I'll remember why we no longer share a bed

If you are shunning a person so completely are you really likely to forget why you aren't sharing a bed?
Maybe change this to "Ill forget why we no longer share a bed." That is actually a bit more healthy point of view. forget and move on.

thanks for the feedback. I guess what I was thinking was that sometimes I forget the reasons that someone has hurt me until I am physically with them. I like to live in this little fantasy world that everything was perfect, and I don't know why we don't talk anymore.. like I am missing out on something.

"I don't want to help myself
But maybe
I deserve more than this pain"
I can relate to this poem a lot, especially the line I quoted above.
