Surviving Heartbreak

Rebuilding

As a lover girl, I once believed

I couldn't survive without you,

That life would be empty and still

After you left, breaking my world in two.

When you walked away, my world shattered,

And I tried to piece it back together again.

I tried to restore it to what it was before you,

But it was never quite the same.

I couldn't fit the pieces perfectly;

They wouldn't go back as they were before,

But maybe, just maybe, I rebuilt something new,

Something stronger than before.

I never had the strength to leave,

But I am thankful you chose to go.

I haven't fixed myself completely,

But I've learned to live without you,

And that's a strength I now know.
