Sacrificing Sanity

I love you more than words can ever really say,

I sacrificed for you, at the alter of my sanity,

and you went and threw it all away.



On that fateful day, a choice you made,

broke my heart and left me reeling,

so very close to the edge.



I pushed you away and cut you out,

before my sanity, could at last,

completely run out.



I loved you more than I think you'll ever know,

twice you had a chance to see,

all the special, hidden parts of me.



You turned away, rejected,

a gift so seldom given.



When you turned that cheek,

you closed the doors,

to those parts you thought were yours,

a truer friend you won't ever find,

but never again will you see inside my mind.



You lost the privilege, no one else ever had,

just as I lost, such a unique and special friend.



You were able to see inside me,

and you understood the things that were bared,

your special access to me died,

when you snuffed out the hope,

for all we could have had.



A friend you wanted,

and a friend you are,

friends, even special as you,

don't get to see inside,

the world in which my sanity hides.



I will always love you, but my love, you've lost,

and I hope you never really know,

just what you gave up,

when those inner doors clicked shut.



I'll miss you seeing inside of me,

it isn't often I'm so easily understood.



I'll still be here, my tears staining this floor,

waiting, always waiting,

for someone to come along,

so I can be open once more.



I'm just so tired, of being always closed,

behind this lonely, fucking door.
