I’m that girl
Battered
And broken
But still standing

I’m that girl
Lost
And abandoned
But still hoping

I’m that girl
Shredded
And struggling
But still trying

I’m that girl
Left
And all alone
But still hopefull

I’m that girl
stubborn
And strong
And still thriving

I told him
No more
The texting
Hurt too much

He moved on
But kept
A grip
On my heart

I’m letting go
Piece by piece
Tear after tear
Day by day

You get to be
The one who
Walks away
Unharmed
Behind you
Bombs exploding
Lives ending
You’ve no time
For looking back
Not your problem
You said goodbye
Dusted off your hands
Your life moves on.

Things turned
And you left
A stupid letter
Of empty excuses

Months of chats
And shared desires
Meant nothing
In your exit

Shattered dreams
And loneliness
My consolation
Of loving you

Wednesday’s child
Destined for woe
It’s the only life
You’ll ever know

Your fate was sealed
The day you were born
Sad or sadder
You are always torn

You weep when happy
And cry when sad
You tears flow freely
Even when your mad

You wear your heart
Out on your sleeve
You give all you have
And they still leave

Your alone in the world
You know your role
Escape with minimal damage
That’s your goal

Tonight
The cutting
Will be deep

Release
So welcome
Instead of pain

Feeling
The passage
Letting go

Tomorrow
The wound
Won’t even matter

He texts
I brace myself
I won’t respond
I know better

He uses words
I ve heard before
I get this game
I’m a seasoned pro

He haunts me
I love him still
I feel the feels
I’ll be strong
