How dare you?

Ask me how I’m doing

Tell me you miss me

Ask me where I’m going

Tell me that I have to wait and see.

How dare you?

 

You, were a liar, a cheat, who made feel stupid.

I, was young, naïve, and tried to play cupid.

 

How could you?

Degrade me;

In pieces, you broke me.

Befriend me;

With each glance, you restored me.

How could you?

 

You, are a coward, a bully, who’s sadly mistaken.

I am strong, independent, and not to be taken…

 

Taken for granted,

By you,

By anyone.

I am to be respected, and loved

By you,

By everyone.

 

You left me, embarrassed, angry and sad,

To all the pain, and the hurt, I say, that I’m glad.
You left me, with knowledge, experience, and scars,

To the memory that’s now distant, I can reach for the stars.

 

How am I?

Well, you “miss me,” too little, too late,

Now, it’s you that must wait and see.

I’m going to follow my own fate,

It’s been ten years, just, let me be.

How am I?

 

I am finally happy.
