I Came Back With Less Than I Left With
When I left home
Left my stagnant life briefly behind
To go on an adventure with you
It was supposed to fill something in me
It was supposed to awaken something
That had been lying dormant inside me
It was supposed to fill me with life
It wasn't supposed to break me
It wasn't supposed to shatter me
It wasn't supposed to rend my heart to pieces
It wasn't supposed to leave me empty
But then,
It wasn't really the journey that did that
Was it?
It was you
You filled something in me
Awoke something that'd been lying dormant
Brought me to life
And when you died
It broke me
Shattered me
Rent my heart to pieces
Left me empty
You gave me my spirit
Only to take it away
