You and I, Crystallized

You used to be everything I need

The beginning of my day

The ending, and the in between

You were my world and I your queen

Our love was Byzantine

Complicated and outdated

It was the lie that couldn't be sated

I told you I loved you because I was scared to be alone

Yet you lingered still

Like the smell of your cheap cologne

I didn't know what that word meant

Or how we would become hellbent

On hurting one another, so relentlessly

We were bound together so chemically

And so my heart hardened, harder still

Any emotion gone after that abortion pill

I felt my heart turn to stone

I realized then I would rather be alone

Sick of the tears, the fighting, the loss

Rest in pieces, we need a headstone

This time, your begging is superfluous

It's time to say our goodbyes

Like a ship about to capsize

Finally you and I, crystallized
