Catharsis

I knew the moment we met
That I should walk away
But I didn’t

I let you in
Gave you a little bit of me

You didn’t notice
The little bit I put out for you
I guess it wasn’t shiny enough
To get your attention

Your door was always closed
I thought then
Because you were closed-off
Played your cards close to your chest

How can I have been so wrong?
I was so wrong
About you
I was so wrong

I didn’t see it
Then
I thought
Hoped
Wanted
So much for your door to be closed
For other reasons

I didn’t see it
I believed
You were
Who I thought you
Wanted so much for you to
Be
But

I see now
It was closed
It is closed
Because there was nothing behind it
There is nothing behind it
For me

I wasn’t shiny enough
I am not shiny enough
I will never be shiny enough
For you

Again and again
I let you in

They say
Insanity is doing the same thing
Over and over
And expecting a different result

I am insane
I expected a different result
I hoped for a different result

Again and again
Until

Until

A moment in time
Such a teeny tiny moment
A mere blip

That moment
When someone stabs you
Through the heart

Sometimes you don’t feel it right away
Sometimes you laugh
Make a joke
Act the smartass

And then
A bit later
Perhaps even just as you stop laughing

You realise
You get it

You fucking GET IT

That is when it stabs you
That is when you feel it
That is when suddenly
You see it
You see him

You SEE him

I see you

And that is when you bleed
As it leaks out of you
Warm and wet
It is full of things you want to disown
Things you wish weren’t inside

Things you wish you could take back 
Things I wish I could take back 

I wish

I cared about you
I fucking CARED about you

I loved you

No

I loved what I thought was you
The idea I painted in my mind
Inside myself
Of the man I thought
I hoped so much
You were
Not

And you
So carelessly
So nonchalantly
Tore me open
Right open

You don't even seen the wound
You don’t even see the wound
You don’t see
Anything

All the little bits  
Small pieces I never ever shared with you
How do you know?
How do you fucking KNOW?

How to hurt me so much
To scar in a way not many can
To cut me in a way I had forgotten
I could be
Cut into

Take all those slivers
Of everything I fear
Of everything I hate
Of everything  

Take them
Put them down
In front of you
Look at them

Probably not

Set them alight
Walk away
Don’t look back

You made a cut in me
You can't take back
You pierced the softest part of me
The part I can’t cover with my armour
The part I thought was
Covered
That I thought you couldn't see
Didn't know about

The part that hurts the most

And then I bleed
Then I feel it
And then

I have been here before

If I don’t tear you out  
Of me
If I don’t take back
The little bit
Of me
That I gave to you

That you don’t want
That you don’t even fucking KNOW
I gave you

I will be here again
Eventually I will be here
Again

But maybe
Maybe
If I'm strong enough
If I'm cold enough
I won’t

Maybe 
I won’t
