I Chose Me


Dear Nicholas,

 

You and I have been

Intertwined for far too

Long- you take and you take

Until there is nothing

Left. You drained me.

You used me. You

Abused my love and

Broke my trust. I loved

You deeply. I loved you

Purely. I loved you, period.

Today, I chose me. I put

Myself first.

 

Today, I set myself Free.

Free from you and your

Critical eye. Free from

Lies. Free from the

Deceit.

 

Today, I chose me.

Today, I chose respect.

Today, I chose to love

Myself.

I wish you well. But

Please, stay Away.
