What I thought I had in you

What I thought I had in you

And like a bad habit

I find you hard to break

To rip from me

And set myself free

šŸ”„

The hurt and pain

The lust and ecstasy

Everything I thought I had in you

Was addiction and lack of control

šŸ”„

In him, I chose everyday

What I thought I had in you

When all you were

I had convinced myself I needed

šŸ”„

Once so out of touch

I was blind

Submerged in the lies

I thought I had in you

It turned into a shackle

šŸ”„

You are what came before

A bitter truth

I swallow now

As I move through the eye of the storm

I am left with the aftermath

I bid farewell

To what I thought I had in you
