self love


he didn't trust me

because he loved me

and because he loved me

he isolated me

because he loved me

he convinced me

that he was all i ever needed

because he loved me

he cheated

and because i loved him

i tried to forget

 

...he loved me?

he broke me.

 

because i love myself

i started over

because i love myself

i tried new things 

because i love myself

i met new people 

because i love myself 

i found my passion

because i love myself

i know when to be selfish

because i love myself

i know how to be alone 

because i love myself

i fixed what was once broken

because i love myself

i can now love others

i can now be happy..

 

..he did not love me

he did not love himself.
