<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sorry I did that.<\/p>\n
Nothing I write could change anything I said or did.<\/p>\n
Or, more accurately, didn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n
How could I have chosen to believe her?<\/p>\n
Over you? I could lie and say I don\u2019t know but<\/p>\n
I know.<\/p>\n
She had me wrapped into her reality-<\/p>\n
Bending to her whims and believing she was The Wizard of Oz.<\/p>\n
You escaped her influence almost a year before I did.<\/p>\n
Before I could- Before I was willing to.<\/p>\n
I can no longer judge you<\/p>\n
For taking that risk;<\/p>\n
For seeing her for who she was.<\/p>\n
You fled to safety that I refused to provide.<\/p>\n
I miss you- us.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll forever be on the list of what she took from me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
