Till Death Do Us Part

October 18, 2017

Growing up you're told that love is :

Patient

Kind

Unconditional

Good days with bad arguments

Flaws that are accepted regardless and are greatly Appreciated

But no one ever advised me that your love would come with:

Rules

Regulations

Stupidity

Pain

Carelessness

Disrespect

Pessimistic attributes

And countless females that knew more about OUR "Relationship"

Then I did

That's not what my parents expected from their princess, whom they've groomed since birth to never settle.

But instead of giving up,

I stayed.

Not because I loved you,

Or the way you made me feel,

Or the way you looked at me

I stayed because I grew accustomed to a false sense of Security

You lead me to believe we were best friends and that You'll always have my best interest at heart

I later learned that while I was loaning my trust to you, You were coaxing me down a hell hole

Years later I applaud you for showing me what not to

"...Have and to hold, or till death do us part"

We will never speak again so this is truly my farewell.

Thank you for pushing me away from you and into

The arms of a man that'll forever cherish me,

Like you never could
