You lived in a cave
where it was always
dark and no light
could burn your eyes.
Sometimes you wanted
to peak you head out to
see what the world was up
to but never did.
You were perfect if
such a word existed.
Your long white dress
got dirty, hems drenched
in mud, when you followed
behind me.
So you let me
go and waved goodbye.
I left you where you were
and yelled from a distance.
You always heard me clearly
and I told myself that this was
better than nothing.
I wanted you to be happy.
I really did.
But you made it so hard
to breathe that I'd pass
out and forget who I was
every time we were
together.
(maybe that was a good thing)
I tried to make it easy
for you and I wondered
why you couldn't do that
for me.
Our past tied us together
and we clung to one another
to keep from separating in
all this chaos.
We both knew we would
never let go no matter
how much better off
we'd be.
You were safe in your
cave where you wanted
me to join but I loved
the world too much to
leave it behind just yet.
Author notes
Your too selfish to let me go and I'm too selfish to want you to.

Beautiful :)
I didn't even notice any of the grammatical errors and usually I'm quite a stickler
A great job, full of feeling.

I hate to be the grammar/spelling Nazi, but I just wanted to point out that;
-"too" in line 8 just needs one 'o'.
-"exited" in line 10 should be 'existed'.
-"Our past tired" should be "our past tied".
-"to breath that"- breath should be 'breathe'.
-"You were safe in you"- 'you' should be 'your'.
best of luck in the contest, sis.
