I should have known.
God, I should've known.
It would have been so much easier
to gather up my courage
and strength
and pack them into
carry-on bags
so we could leave you
while I was still able to walk away.
Instead,
my courageousness
vanished.
It got into the first taxi cab
on the strip of my heart
and fled without
a backwards glance.
Without a goodbye,
my strong will
hopped on a plane
at the nearest airport
of my soul
and flew off into
oblivion.
I was left alone.
Fending for myself.
I should have known
that they would leave me behind -
just like
everyone and
everything else
has.
I ran to you
with a loving gaze
after my two
warriors had disappeared,
and instead of a
soft embrace,
you gave me
a cold
-
hard
-
stare.
Your presence
had left me
before you were
physically able to,
and I was
unable to bring you
back to me.
I was too late,
and I let you
tear my paper skin
to pieces.
There was no way
to stop you
& I should've known.
