Move

MOVE

On,
because I am better than he.

On,
because it couldn't have been real.

On,
because I accepted less than I  deserve. 

On,
because I ignored the clues.

On,
because he was blind to,
my worth,
my ability to love deeply,
my sweetness.

On,
because it's over.
It's over, it's over. 

I'll take a deep breath of acceptance,
and move on.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
