That's What She Said

8.

I don't believe in ____

Bigfoot

Vampires

Ghosts or ghouls

But most importantly

I don't believe in you

I don't believe that you can change

I don't believe that you WANT to change

And I don't believe that you ever cared

I don't think I____

Will ever stop loving you

Am perfect

Deserve what you put me through

But most importantly

I don't think I need you

ANYMORE

The idea of you kept me warm when I needed heat

Calmed my mind when I needed to sleep

But left me cold and bitter in morning's wake

As all you did was take and take

But I gave and gave

And for that I don't hold you accountable

I'm just bitter to see it work out for the worse

And I think you've known how I've thought of you for a while

I just wish you didn't find me so vile

And while my heart still carries nothing but love for you

I've found that it is not my love you want

And while it used to hurt, I understand

I am free from you

Life can be cruel

But love feels kind

Don't be fooled

For it is not

This poem means a lot to me, while it's not super rich in imagery or symbolism it's a pretty big marker of recovery and personal success :D
I know it's been said every way possible in every language known to man kind, but things DO get better, and this is proof to myself at least that it's true.
