I AM A GALAXY............
i am the moon and the stars
everything near and far
but you threw me away like
i was only a gum wrapper in your pocket
an utter annoyance.
but i'm more than any material thing
grander than any stretch of the imagination
i am everything you will ever want and more.
even though to get a rise out of yourself,
you used me.
rung me out to dry,
you watched me fall for you
kissed me and held me like you were ready to catch me
yet here i am
screaming on the bathroom floor
with my heart in a million pieces scattered across the linoleum
but i'm trying to put myself back together.
i have the elmer's glue and the tape and the faux positive attitude
but a fragile air of positivity won't make the pain disappear
i am broken.
my eyes are sore and dry and broken
i am drowning in my emotions
but that does not mean i have lost myself.
i look in the mirror and i still see me
tear-stained, tired, but still the me i've always known
i am woman
a woman realizing the strength in her weaknesses
and i will rise regardless
with or without you
i was me before i met you
and i will be me after i've forgotten your name
i am not my pain.
even though the love i have for you is beautiful and passionate and real as ever
you and i were never meant to be forever
but i was always meant to have myself.
i never needed any part of you-
i only wanted
and i can shed my wants like a dog's fur
..........IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.
