my body aches from all the tears i’ve held in
i’ve given everything up for you
all for you and your happiness
nothing in return
nothing at all
this doesn’t really “qualify” as a poem. i really just needed to get this off my mind instead of making a mistake

Walls are put up meant for the purpose of keeping things out.
Rest assured, that’s not their purpose.  
We put up Walls in our life to keep people out from seeing the real us.  
But those very walls made up of our pain that we want to conceal,
are meant to be broken down.
Not just by anyone,
but the person who truly cares about you the most will break down those walls so that you don’t have to do it alone.
just a thought

I didn’t loose you, I let you go
I didn’t stay, I got up and left
You didn’t love me so I left
That’s right, I stood right up and walked myself out the door
No, it wasn’t easy
In fact the tears I had burned a hole in me, the tears you caused
I got out of bed every morning and told myself that it wasn’t going to be easy but it would be worth it.
Im not going to give you the satisfaction of knowing that I’m going to be here when you messed up
So was it worth it
I would say so
I now get up every morning and think that my life is so much better without you.
Heartbreak *****, especially when you stick around for so long
My advice, leave

— The End —
