I KEPT MY WORD

I remember when you said “Please don’t ever leave me.” I held you close and I promised  that the only way I would leave you was only if you left me. 

Fast forward 7 years and it’s a memory of you, filling me up with loving words, proclaiming that I am the love of your life,  that this time you will try to change. 

But in the end, I had to protect myself. I built a wall that not even I could take down. Hoping it would hurt less when I left. 

And for almost 2 years,  the guilt I had carried to leave a person I promised to love forever consumed me. 

Until I finally realized that each time you called me names, screamed in my face, watched me cry, and said I deserved it.

You had already left me.
