She is weak and unable to move on.
Hanging on to a memory that has since moved on.
Remembering every moment that was.
Asking questions she shouldn't.
Trying to stay in the past,
but the future moves on without her.
How can I grow while standing in her shadow?
How can I flourish watching her fall down?
How do I learn from someone who isn't there?
How do I share my happiness?
I stayed away to avoid the scene
not wanting to answer questions.
I grew up sooner than need be
learning how to move on.
My childhood cut short
becoming someone I never wanted to be.
Some of it was due to him
He doesn't get away scot free.
He didn’t just leave her -
he abandoned me too.
I may still have him in my life.
I talk to him as much as I can,
but I will always wonder what could have been.
If he had stayed, who would I be?
