Turned My Life Around..

Recently I had an incident
Life changing and painful
I lost someone I truly loved
I handled it wrong and dangled

As I sat in my closet
Taking all those pills
I could feel my life slipping
Throwing off all hinges and reels

I couldn't understand
What kind of person would lie and leave
I over my hospital/mental facility stay
Realized He just wasn't for me..

I came to a conclusion
I come to love too easy
So I withdrew myself from all love
And now I share no chemistry

When I ask myself questions
And then answer them in return
I feel as if I was tricked
Into life lessons that were meant to purposely burn

These days I take things slow
I learn more about those who interest me
They may not like to wait
But I come first and foremost protectively
