Falling for you
was nothing
compared to
walking away.
The sanctuary
you provided
wasn't as sweet
as freedom.
Searching
within myself
was better than
anywhere else.
Leaving my lips
dry and cold
was better than
smothering them.
Dying in the
truth is better
than living in
our lies.
Author notes
I beg to differ with the statement "Better to be loved and lost than never loved at all."
