How Did I Lose You?

How did I lose you?
Was it when I held you to my heart?
Was it when I told you I loved you?
When i told myself I loved you?

As I sit here trying to think of how you slipped away,
I fight with my emotions as the stream of uneasy tears flow steadily and painfully down my face.
With every tear,
another part of me leaves until there's nothing left.

We laughed and smiled but underneath the surface,
there was something wrong.
A false sense of security deeply rooted between the relationship,
between "US."

But then it abruptly changed.
There was no sense of love, comitment, security.
The constant screaming and lying and fighting.
The words you spoke still ring in my mind and I can't get away.

The best way to get away is to get away.
I tried and I tried not to cry but as it all accumulated,
everything was releashed.

Now I sit here and think to myself,
what happened that made you rip my heart apart?
What happened to that love that used to be?
How did I lose you?
