and just like that,
the favorite thing you ever bought me,
the favorite thing i had left of you,
(the scented candle in the glass box)
s h a t t e r e d
into a million different shards.
it felt as if whatever pain i had been holding on from your actions left my shoulders,
it felt like the burden i had been carrying spread its wings and flew away.
it felt as if i was finally able to see the sky set and the dawn rise.
i accepted you for who you were to me,
and i let go.
as i noticed the eyes of my loved ones look at me when the shards fell on the ground,
i realised i am not alone.
i realised i have help, and that not everyone is like you.
we're over now,
we were never meant to be.
i'm sorry for the times i mistreated you,
thank you for helping me learn.
