The One Sided Surrendor
At first it was an overreaction
A miscommunication
Then came the blame of myself
“You didn’t ask”
“You could’ve texted”
“Of course you were invited”
But how would I have known?
Soon after was “too many people”
You can come only if you need to
A rescinded invitation to the place I once called a second home
Next was the isolation
Me pulling away in fear of getting pushed out even farther
Finally came the ending
It began with me reaching out,
Trying to repair the damage that had been done
It began with me fighting for my other half
It ended with her eager to move forward
It ended with her turning a blind eye to the past
It ended with her telling me we hadn’t been best friends for a while
It began with a one-sided fighter
And ended with a one-sided surrender

It can be really hard to lose the person who was once your other half. It can be even harder when they are the one to let go. But you will realise if you are doing everything you can and that still isn't enough, than it is for the better.
