I won't apologize for something
that I thought was good for me,
but instead tore me limb from
limb, begging me to crawl back
only so it can happen again.
I gave in.
I let you hurt me.
again.
and again.
why didn't I realize?
it took me far too long to notice,
you never wanted good for me.
you wanted my undivided attention.
you thought that you could
take every piece of me that I
have to offer and throw it away.
I may have been hurt, but
you mistook that for defeat.
you think you won the war,
but it was a measly, minuscule
battle you took victory for.
unfortunately for you, I have
more soldiers.
people who are far more loyal
than you ever pretended to be.
and I know, without a doubt,
we will crush you.
soak it in while it lasts,
because there's an army coming.
