That Hardest Part Was Knowing That To Love You Meant Stepping Away

I could never be your hero
And fight your demons
Or slay all your
Insecurities
I could never show you
How beautiful you really
Looked in my eyes
Or help you understand
How wonderful you were
I could only love you
Through all that mess
The depression
The Insecurity
The silent anger
That raged inside
And consumed you
I could only tiptoe
Through this wreck
As you slowly blamed me
For every incident
I realize
That I could never
Be good enough
To make you happy
To part these cloudy skies
And let the sun
Of your soul
Shine on through
I realize
Which was the hardest
For me to do
I was never enough
To make you smile
Nothing could
Make you smile
Except your own love
For who you
Are
And knowing this
Knowing what I had to do
I let you go
I had to
For you to someday
Even without me
Find your
Inner peace
