I suppose
I love my scars
Because
They have
Been with me
Longer than
Most people
Have.

Don't feel sorry for me
Or even worry about me.

Don't think about who
you left behind.

Go anywhere you would like,
But don't look behind.

our relationship was
filled with toxic chemicals
that
       s l o w l y but
                    s u r e l y
crept into
my body
          my head
                    my heart
the way your love
    did
         not

Love is love
Until
it's
not

or
it
never was
