I remember the harrowing day that the light depleted from your eyes.
The countless times I tried to bargain with you to leave before it got to this point.
I never wanted to be the man you conjured in your head.
You got tired of my “paper-cut” kisses when I found you with your wounds.
Your life went downhill when you started giving me the drugs that kept you sane.
Nothing in the universe lasts forever.
I just wish you accepted that too.
A flower is only angelic when it blooms.
I had to replace you as soon as you withered.
It got pitiful watching you destroy the beauty I once knew.
The begging, the pleading, the pity show.
Crying on the floor, a shell of yourself.
Knowing there was nothing you could do to stop me from cheating.
It’s a lot that you put on me.
My back hurts from carrying your burdens.
You feel hurt and betrayed, yet you won’t escape.
I wait for the day you fall out of love.
Yet you love me so much that you hate yourself.
I watch those around you mourn someone who is still alive.
I caused someone’s daughter to mentally die.
But I begged you not to fall for a nigga like me.
You decided to stay and sealed your fate.
It’s your fault you were a feeble dove who refused to fly away.
Left with hatred and no self-esteem.
You spun out of control to the point of no return.
I couldn’t mercy your wretched soul.
I loved you so much that I couldn’t let you leave.
But I despised you so much that I couldn’t let you be happy.
Now you're in too deep and I won’t pull you out.
I’ll do what I do best.
I migrate, I leave.
I’m just a bird.
