No Different This Time

Why did I think it was going to be different this time around?
Because without any words or sound
You picked me up to only smash my heart
Into pieces. You tore everything apart
Until everything was unrecognizable
And unfamiliar. You left a sizable
Hole, not only in my heart, but in my
Soul as well. You cannot look me in the eye
Because some part of you knows that
This is all a lie. You want to make me flat
Instead of bringing me back to life and
Into the light. No matter how much you try to reach your hand
Out to apologize and bring me back
Into your clutches everything is off track
For a reason. We cannot right ourselves
And fix this anymore. There is a reason why high shelves
Are here, to protect ourselves from getting
Hurt all over again. I am not regretting
Anything, but there is no way to be
In this with you anymore. It is about me,
But not about you. It is not like
I stopped caring, but I was tired of the long hike
And trek into nowhere land with you.
I have to realize there is a blue
Sky on the other side of all this. I hope
That there is a whole other rope
To hang onto that is worth it
Because together, you and I no longer fit.
