i still miss you. i never stopped missing you. but i'll be okay.

I'm alive,
                            I am dead inside.
I have met every goal,
                          Every hurt feeling,
For which I strive.
                                    I must hide.
I finally feel whole.  
                    Even caged birds sing.

a man
can't stand seeing
his woman hurt.
he's careful
with his decisions
and actions,
so he never has
to be responsible
of her pain.

the
      moon
                   split
                             in half
and
        the
               stars
                        crumbled

falling
            falling
                        falling
                                    like
                                            fireworks
                                                               into
                                                                      the
                                                                            sea


the
     day
          my
               love
                      left
                            me.

Right now
In this moment
I am simply
Me

My anxiety has no hold on me
My depression is at rest

Self doubt and loathing have hidden themselves to give way to calm.

I am at peace.
I am me.
I am free.
