Closure came unexpectedly on a Friday morning, weeks after our final messages to one another.
I know you loved me and I loved you. But you could not accept a love that didn’t require me to break myself into pieces for you. You could not truly love me.
The cost for me was too expensive and it took almost eight years to learn that my soul was not for sale.
Pieces
I always wondered
What the final straw would be
Ending of our time.
Repeated cycle
of highs and lows, breaking me
into pieces of you.
You come into and
out of my life, my heart, while
leaving holes of pain.
The ghost of your body
lays beside me every night
invading my dreams.
I am suspended
in time, frozen from burning
in your pretty lies.
You are running from
yourself and what I reveal
of your reflection.
Will I ever heal
from the wounds you gifted in
exchange for my heart?
My last poem for
you is my final love song,
my closing goodbye.
While you live to find
pieces of yourself in those
who live to love you.
Can you truly love someone who is literal collateral damage in the war of ego you fight with yourself? Will you ever look in the mirror and truly see the reflection of the person you are, or will all the moments we spent together become a blip in a life where you continue to hide your authenticity?
I walk away now, for me. To save my sanity and my soul.
My wish is that you will choose the same.
