I do not miss you

I do not miss you. There are nights I spend mourning what I lost, losing you, Your smile, your sass, the way you could fix me when I was torn in half, But I didn't lose you. I didn't lose you because I never truly had you, You never let me into your world, I could only watch as the foundations of our relationship crumbled before me, You ended it, and it felt as if my life was over, The future I had planned with you gone in an instant . But what was over was the months of abuse and misuse by you, The evenings I lost to sobbing over you because the only way I felt loved was if I played along, if I put myself through this hell for you, All this fear, and this pain, and these scars, Merely because I convinced myself that you could change, and that I was in the wrong, But I was never in the wrong when it came to you, I hear you call yourself a man of dignity, Say you ended things to protect me, But how could you live with yourself, Proclaiming innocence while I suffered in ways none of our friends could see, I was only a child, careless and free, but here I am, you ruined me, So blindsided by love, I was trapped in ways I couldn't grasp, You left, and I realized, I'm free at last. That's not the entire story, Some of the worst things on my mind will never get to meet your eye, But I am no longer trapped in that sick reality, Controlled by someone who doesn't believe that they're hurting me, The memories of what you did are still here, they still haunt me, So I will not let myself miss you, Not anymore, I do not miss you.

Ah a very heartfelt poem, no one deserves such pain and misery from the hands of especially someone we trust, and love, and expected respect and kindness from! Sometimes we realize much later and friends dont see what happens behind closed or locked doors. A resilient ending! To break free from such abuse is never easy! I felt the emotions flowing throughout this! Welcome to soup! And this is a fave for me! Keep sharing and expressing! Sending you light always
