Years

There I was
The moment you turned.
The moment the emotion
Faded from your eyes.
The moment,
Where you were
No longer you.

Six years…
Lost to you.

Six years…
Of reckless…
Toxic love.

Six years,
Of excuses…
Tolerance.

Six years,
Of feeling terrified,
At the thought of you mad.

Six years,
Of only seeing the good in your soul,
As little as it was…
It was.

Six years…
Of you…
Destroyed me.
