Because in the end,

You’re still the one I love.

I think I was made to do more
than just break

What a finicky word, love is
Like two sides of a coin
Maybe that’s the curse the universe bestowed on us
After all, how could it give us something so magical
Something that could make us fly
And feel like we’re on top of the world
Without it being able to tear the mountain out from under our feet
And bury us six feet into the ground?

Heart break has no mercy

But time does

it’s funny you think you can break me
as if my walls were made of brick
that you could just smash through so easily
i don’t need walls
and i don’t need armor
because i was not made to be broken

Your fire may have died down
And it may seem to heavy to fly
But you are still a dragon;
And those tears will subside

Momma taught me that life was unfair

So maybe that’s why he gets to walk away
Unscathed

While I stand here, beaten and bruised, desperately trying to hold myself together

You can’t break her heart
It’s already broken
He carries it around with him in a jar in his back pocket
Unknowingly

I can feel the lioness inside me
trapped behind the bars in my chest
a quiet flame still flickers in her eyes
but it’s not as bright as before
I can hear her limping
and whimpering
and crying a silent wail of anguish
that echoes throughout my veins and rattles my bones
she’s hurt you chose another over her
but more importantly, she’s hurt that she let someone like you, get so close
and have so much power
over someone like her
she won’t let it happen again.
she is done pacing
she is done waiting
she is done wondering
and even though you are all she could ever want in this world
she derserves better
and she will find it
