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
