it was me and you, against yourself.

By SourInnocence

It was me,
Who saved you.
My eyes you looked into
And found hope.
My voice that spoke
And calmed you.
It was me,
Always me.

You needed me,
And I needed you.
You cried on my shoulder,
And I soaked up the pain.
You let me worry for you,
And I fell in love with your suffering.
It was you,
Only you.

Today I cried,
For you as usual.
I had let you down,
I had made you suffer,
You’re not here this time,
To tell me you’ll be fine.
And now I love the memory.
Of what we use to be.

    It's sad and well written. It reminds me of couples in general, when guys say "You look cute/beautiful when you're angry". For some reason people are attracted to others' pain.
