Inspiration

I loved you and in return 
You gave me pain
And still do and will continue to do so
I gave you this power over me 
I silently endured the pain
Using it for my writings 
Because for people in this world 
Pain is better than contentment. 
I used this pain as my inspiration 
Went through hell alone 
But this had to end one day. 
I am the only one who has control over me, 
I am going to be my own inspiration 
Because darling I am not a cigarette,
Which you can puff and throw. 
I am the creator who can melt your glow. 
We all create moments in our mind with the way 
We perceive reality 
It maybe non existent for the other person all together 
There is a reason it's just a memory 
So that you don't make a home out of it
And live in the moment being invincible.
