For the best of us
<p style="text-align: left;">I don’t remember how we began,</p><p style="text-align: left;">But I remember the first time I saw you—</p><p style="text-align: left;">I truly saw you.</p><p style="text-align: left;">You stood there in your skin,</p><p style="text-align: left;">With a spark in your eyes,</p><p style="text-align: left;">A life within life itself.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="text-align: left;">It feels different when you’re intentional,</p><p style="text-align: left;">When the version of you I love shines through.</p><p style="text-align: left;">But my heart shatters every time</p><p style="text-align: left;">You change so radically, so suddenly.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="text-align: left;">Last night, you promised it was the last time.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Just like two weeks ago and then, two weeks before that.</p><p style="text-align: left;">But your promises are echoes now,</p><p style="text-align: left;">Fading before they ever reach me.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="text-align: left;">You won’t go to rehab,</p><p style="text-align: left;">You won’t see the fractures left in our bonded hearts</p><p style="text-align: left;">The damage it’s done to us.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Your words don’t carry weight anymore.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I’m used to you.</p><p style="text-align: left;">And being with you means</p><p style="text-align: left;">I risk losing my mind too.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="text-align: left;">Let me speak the truth</p><p style="text-align: left;">You’ve always been too afraid to hear;</p><p style="text-align: left;">It won’t be your last.</p><p style="text-align: left;">We both know you’ll return to it—</p><p style="text-align: left;">Again and again.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I feel like a help,</p><p style="text-align: left;">But not the help meet for you.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I give everything,</p><p style="text-align: left;">But it’s never enough.</p><p style="text-align: left;">You need something I cannot offer,</p><p style="text-align: left;">No matter how hard I try.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="text-align: left;">Yet, I saw those eyes again—</p><p style="text-align: left;">That life, that spark.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I knew you had more within you.</p><p style="text-align: left;">More than this.</p><p style="text-align: left;">So, I made the choice you couldn’t.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I sold you out—</p><p style="text-align: left;">Not out of spite,</p><p style="text-align: left;">But for a purpose.</p><p style="text-align: left;">For the best of you.</p><p style="text-align: left;">For the best of us.</p>
