A Tangle of Hurt and Happiness - A collection of poetry

Temporary

I know this is only a temporary reprieve,
But when I'm not thinking of you, I can actually breathe.
Oh, it's such a relief.
The door was always wide open, but I never thought I could leave.

Maybe this time I can actually walk out.
Maybe this time I can live without doubt.
It feels so good I could shout,
Finally knowing what love is actually about.

He's someone that you'll never be
To me.
With him, there's a future I can actually see.
Oh, I feel free.

This could be temporary.
This could be momentary.
But I don't think that such a short moment is unnecessary.
No, not if it dug me out of that cemetery.

I'm doing fine without you in my life.
I never knew how peaceful it could be without the strife.
I never knew I could go on without thinking of you all the time.
I never knew what a requited crush was like.

He's got me singing songs,
Rewriting my wrongs.
It feels good cause it took me so damn long
To move on.

This might be a temporary reprieve,
But while it's here, let me bask in my relief.
It feels so nice to finally breathe.
The doors wide open, so it's time to leave.
