Strangers Again

All I hear were empty words,
Excuses that don´t make sense
As you looked straight into my eyes
Saying every bit of your lies
Without even stuttering
As you move your lips
I try to wonder if you know that
Without a word, I knew what you hid
From me all these time
What makes you think that
your excuses might compensate
the things you did
Why would you ask me to try harder?
And blame it all on me for not
Forcing myself on you
When you knew all these time
That you would just leave me behind
I don´t need nor want you to feel sorry for me
Knowing all about your lies
I still stood there
Patiently listening to all of it
I can´t find myself to hate you that much
Because I knew about this
I felt you were distant and I was afraid
I told you about it
Trying, hoping
We can do something
To save what we had
But it seems that what we have and ¨us¨
Is not worth to be saved at all
As I hold into the little fragments of the broken pieces
I continuously hurt myself
Slowly every piece and part of me
Are shattering into pieces
I wanted to keep holding them back together
As I looked up hoping to see you there
So I can make it through
You were long way gone
And nowhere to be found
You said to trust you
That you will never leave
That you were different
And won´t do anything to harm
Or hurt me
Look at me now.
None of it was true
Forgive me
I was never perfect
And have my own shortcomings
Thank you, for having you
And having us, may it be for a short time
But you have taught me well
I´m sorry for letting my pain go,
I am tired of crying
And asking things with answers
That are very clear to me
I am hurt and can´t hold on to these
Little fragments any longer
I deserve to give myself love
Not you or anybody else can
Help me with this
I hope to see you again
But not now or tomorrow
Hopefully someday
When I can smile at you again
And not shed a single tear for you
For now, let us be strangers again
