IT IS FOR THE BEST
I loved you once....
more than i knew i could.
But love isn't always returned.
Sometimes it's one-sided,
silent and bruising.
You betrayed me
in ways I can't unsee,
and I.....
I had to leave,
even if leaving hurts more than staying.
I won't cry for what was lost.
I won't beg for what never was.
I close this chapter
with fire in my chest,
and peace in my spine.
In your next life,
I pray you never have kids
So they don't carry the weight
of a heart that forgot how to care
It hurts, it really does.
But it is for the best
Because i am more than your betrayal,
more than your silence,
more than your discouragements.
I walk forward.
Alone, yes,
but alive,
and ready to love...
myself first, always first.
