we both bestowed pain upon each other
with me dealing more pain than you
i’m sorry
but this pain that i feel right now
it consumes every part of me
and yes, we did some things to heal each other
but the difference is i was there for you
every word, every gesture, every assurance i can give
it was all for you
but right now
all i got is me
you left me with me
i guess you’re teaching how to swim
while here i am, helplessly drowning
