Butterfly Effect

But it takes a moment to realize
Ultimately, it could have never happened.
The second I chose to hide away in
The bathroom late at night when I was 
Exhausted from having a 
Ripped to pieces personality- a
Fragmented sense of self.
Little did I know it would be 
You searching for me. Now I’m

Eternally bound to your 
Flaws that infect my own personality,
Forcing me to live out your mistake. 
Every day. I want to forget that I 
Can’t take any of myself back. I want
To forget everything you did to me.
