Good Enough

You broke her - just like I said you would
You took advantage of every opportunity to 
spin the narrative in your favor
To make your stories become her stories
Slowly, your beliefs became hers

You broke my best friend
My future
And the only woman I ever truly loved
The only human I have ever known who accepted
me as I am

You broke her beliefs and hopes and replaced them
with your own
You blamed me until she believed you
You ruined something beautiful and hard to find just to 
retain control 

You made her choose to accept half loves and half a life
Minus honesty, loyalty, and respect
All because you decided years ago
That I wasn't good enough

La Douleur Exquise

My heart twists and bends
Doing its best not to break
As my arms reach out into
empty space
Believing you're there
Aching to pull you close

Despite this space between us
And your walls I wish to climb
I can often feel you next to me
So real I'm able to forget you aren't
And, just sometimes
I turn to say something to you
Only to be met with
Nothing - no one next to me
But it felt so real

In those moments I wonder if it's
just me
Have you - do you ever find yourself doing the same?

I miss, but more than miss you
I love you beyond measure, yet fall short

Tout ce que tu es est beau pour moi
Tu es mon amour, toujours
