I loved him
Did he love me?
When he stared into my eyes it sure felt like it
I love him now
I changed myself for him
I wanted him
I long for him
Did he really want me?
It might just be my fuzzy memory
I love his smile
It lights up a room
It makes me feel warm
I wanted to make it work
But I was tired of his games
He was still splashing in the lake
While I was at bay.
The pain in my heart when I walked away
But he stabbed me in my throat
Muting my voice
Silencing my true emotions
And seeing my authentic self brought too much discomfort
So I took the step to let go
And the day I did something awoke
I stood up a little lighter than before
I smiled a little bigger than before
I laughed a little harder than before
I slept a little better than before
I could speak my truth more than before
And I was finally myself again.
