My lips trembling.
I feel my body aching from your words.
I so badly wanted you to love me.
You were my bestfriend,
But the one who betrayed me.
Stabbed me.
Slaughtered me with your words.
You lied to our friends to try and ruin me.
I loved you,
So much.
When I broke,
I couldn't breathe.
In that moment,
I realized I was choking on all the words you've ever said.
All the betrayals you've done before.
All the times I forgave you,
When you were in the wrong.
All the times I apologized,
When I was in the right.
I trusted you,
For so many long years.
I have to take many long years to fix myself.
You've broken me because you never appreciated me,
I was your idea of a backup plan.
You've destroyed me with every word you've said about me.
I've begun to fix myself.
To pick up the parts I need,
But all the weight is yet too much.
The parts of myself I need,
And the parts of myself I liked,
Are all I need right now.
All I can carry,
Are the pieces I need.
I may have left you behind for once and for all,
But I've also left myself behind too.
