what intricate webs we must have weaved
dewy drops like tears drip from each strand now
drowning memory with a single drop
but how could you miss what you can't even remember?
because finally
you have said goodbye
told me to leave you be
and my heart has broken
unsure of what to do
this being has cracked
splintered even
shards fly everywhere
but
i guess it's time to put the cobwebs to rest
dust them away to the wind
spin a memory with everlasting happiness
that no amount of pain could wash away
because i believe
in a life of good feeling
in a life of self worth
a life where i can accept myself for me
and i now see
that i am worthy of a love
greater than anything you could've given
i am worth more than settling for something i'm not
but i still thank you
because without this lesson of love
i would never have seen
what was invisible to me
self worth.
