Paul

I've always had to take care of myself

I was an adult by age thirteen

And responsible for taking care of her

But 

I slipped up

When I gave him everything

Everything he didn't want

And

He took my lungs

Left me to fall apart

Living without air

So 

I became a ghost 

The forgotten girl in tears

I started to disappear

Until

You pulled me back from the edge

Fear in your eyes

With anger twisting your words

Then

You promised not to leave

And I told you not to make

Promises you couldn't keep
