All the people telling you to walk away,

They don't see what that bond once was.

The people on the outside see the fights.

They see the anger, and the spite.

But they never saw the good.

The times when that person was your world.

The person you went to with everything.

They didn't see that the current ruins were once a castle.

A broken relationship looks a lot different on the outside than it does the inside.

Because that relationship once was private and loving.

Now it's broken and public.

    I grew up too fast.
