Outgrew you

Changing everything I could.

Willing to cross oceans and move mountains for your satisfactory.
Just to hear your compliments which often turned into complaints. To be blinded by your "sorry".

Feeling my inner peace begin to dwindle. Myself was to exist no more by the time this love was over.

Constant wars between my gut feeling and my heart that betrays me.

My ears heard sweet sounds pushing away anything real or true.

The thing I had for you was toxic.

I could not show self love. So I ran to my stability in you. Holding me up depending on me to need you forever and always. Once my hero.

         Now I learn to be my own hero.
