The Character

I created you in my darkness
U accepted and you took care of me when
I was hopeless
The only light to my reality was overshadowed by your presence
They all believed in you and
That’s what hurt my conscience
You lifted me above the hills, I gained more than I ever dreamed
But the reflection in my mirror
Only paints one side of my own terror
The character that made me a winner
Is slowly fading
But the footprints can still be seen sliding.
I never regret you,
I love you.
But I have to live without you .
