you were just as broken as me

A tired excuse
Feelings which have long passed, but linger on forgotten tears
An abuse rarely visable, but felt years later after looking in the reflections of my eyes

However, I'm noticing a reoccurring pattern
I've lost track where I start and you have ended
You're starting to feel like a culmination of everything I wanted to suppress
And I guess it was a success
But to what extent?

We haven't spoken in years, and I can't even remember your voice, the color of your Eyes, or even the tears that you wept about the abuse you were dealt by the person You ''didn't like'', but with whom you now share your bed
And to be perfectly clear, I don't mean that to be perceived as a stab
It's just me acknowledging the fact that also you didn't know a thing about what it means To love
You tried your best and did what made sense in your mind
But you were just as broken as me, and I realize that now

I am actively forgiving you for everything that has happened for us

(You were just as broken, as broken as me)
(You were just as broken, as broken as me)

Days carry on and on, always have (You were just broken)
But I can't give me more than what I already have (Broken like me)
Which is all my best (You were just)
So, here's to life (Broken)
Growth (Broken like me)
Step by step (You were)
