Heartbreak


I thought you were the one.

I was wrong yet right all at the same time.

Instead of being the one to lift me up and love me through every hard or even easy time you were the one who could see I’m hurting

and still not talk due to your own selfishness.

You were the one to teach me to not trust so easily

because anyone, including yourself,

can be a backstabber,

a cheater

a liar.

You have broken me

I’m getting stronger every day

knowing that I don’t need you

knowing that I am better off without you.

You deny every wrong you have done.

It is time to stand up like a man and take responsibilities for your actions.

I have, it made many people hate me,

I know you don’t hate me, you are just mad.

Come a few months you will be back,

you will try to get me back, and i won’t fall for your trap again.

Enough damage has been done.

I am and will always be done with you

because all you ever do is leave me on my own,

sitting in my pain and misery, without care.

I would believe that you love me,

but I no longer do, you just want me to fulfill your sexual pleasures,

but no more.

I’m done for good, I’m not being drug back down into that hole.

It hurts way too much for me to hold on.

Letting go will forever make me feel so much better than ever going out with you

or anyone like you.
