I Deserve Better

I finally got the information I needed to move on
My heart is free of burden today
I don't feel stuck on you anymore
one door closed and another opened
you used me and played me like
a used guitar, but its ok you were right
I deserve much much better than you
I am smart and I will do fine
but for you I will no longer pine
So smile you got what you wanted
I am out of your clutches and 
I am out of you life
mine will be better with you gone
I have all I need with one extra
negative person gone away
I know I have someone who 
will actually stay
Thank you for giving me something
that was at first good
because I now know I will
find someone so much better
He will love me for me
be patient and kind
pick up the peices you left behind
I still love you and I always will
But I deserve better 
and better I will find

Thank you. I found some things out he didn't think I would and what I found out made me realize I deserve better....and there is someone who has been waiting patiently for me to figure that out for a while. I'm not jumping into anything right now. It's just time to heal and definitely move on. I feel so much better and not so heavy hearted. It is an amazing feeling =)

Remove the negative clutter and gain that closure. This is a massive victory for any sad heart who has simply had enough. Well done! =)
