You Weren’t Supposed To Be The One To Leave

You weren’t supposed to be the one to leave.

To be the one to leave me with a bleeding heart
that only wanted a tiny taste of yours.
To be the one to crush me with just a word,
with the whisper of a ‘sorry’.

You weren’t supposed to be the one to leave.

To be the one to rain down on me
when all I ever wanted was your shelter.
To be the one to run away from all that we had
when I was so tragically under your spell.

You weren’t supposed to be the one to leave.

To be the one I called my own
when you already knew I wasn’t your destination.
To be the one I called my home
when you already knew I was only a vacation.

You weren’t supposed to be the one to leave.

To be the one to break my heart
when I trusted you to the core.
To be the one to say goodbye
when I had gotten so used to your every ‘hello’.

You weren’t supposed to be the one to leave.

To be the one to make it harder for the rest of them.
To be the one that I’ll always picture in the dark.
To be the one whose words are engrained in every one of my bones.

To be the one who made me so many promises
but never came through with anything.
