Resentment

she hated her life
and cried every night,
but she still woke up every day
with a smile on her face.she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, wanting to scream out so loud but with all the strength she had, she kept everything inside.she's scared to get to close to anyone anymore, because everyone who promised her they would stay, turned their back on her and walked away.she's hurts, mentally and emotionally. but everyday, she walks with a smile, because that's who she is, the girl who never stopped smiling.she left him,
he lost his soul
she realized her worth,
he lost his purpose.
she's happy now and
he's finally feeling
what she felt

"Was it hard?" I ask. "Letting go?

Not as hard as holding on to something that wasn't real."
