Alone is how I feel now that you are no longer a part of my life.  I thought we had something special, but I see now that I was wrong.  I fell for your words and promises but I see now they were empty, just like you.  

I see clearly now that you are not the man that you claimed you were and you will never be that man either.  What I needed you could not give me.  But I gave you as much as I could.  But it seems that was not enough.  

You walked away from me at a time when I really needed you.  What hurts the most is as you walked away you never even looked back.

I may be bent and parts of me are definitely broken.  I am not sure if breaking me was your intention but you did.  

I know that you are broken as well, but that has nothing to do with me.  I did my best to try to mend you, but I also realize that I made mistakes.  The biggest mistake I made was trying to shield you from your pain.  Sooner or later you are going to have to deal with it.  THe only person who can save you from that pain is you.  But you will not accept that.  You want everybody else to do it for you.  But that is not the way it works.

I am strong and I am  survivor.  You may be a survivor but you are not as strong as you believe yourself to be.  You do not seem to understand that actions have consequences.  I think that you will never see or understand that.  All I can say is that life will have some painful lessons in store for you.  I admit this makes me sad you refuse to learn this lesson and there is nothing I can do about that.

So I let you go knowing that I tried to help you and I failed.  I will do my best to try to learn whatever it is I need to learn on this life journey.  I know that I can do nothing more for you.
