You decided.

I leave long after being left

You decided.
Aah! the burden of those two words.

We bid goodbye
and all that remained
was you blaming me
You decided, you said.
Not me.
The cross is yours to carry.

But did you ever stop to consider
what drove me
to play referee
to a match that takes two for victory.
Yes, I was the voice
that finally set us free.

But you my love;
You decided. Way before me.
