I let you control me for far too long.

You played me like a fiddle.

I could feel that there was something wrong.

It was that you cared too little.

Everyone tried to tell me to stay away.

You told me yourself you’d hurt me.

I never listened until the other day.

My blindness was gone, and I began to see.

You could never love me, so this only leads to pain.

That’s why I’m avoiding you. It’s the only way I’ll stay sane.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
