stop reading the old text messages.
they may have been cute once,
but baby they never meant anything
at all.
I know the words that he spoke
may have seemed truthful.
but they were just poison
dripping from his lips.
the venom now embedded
in your brain and heart.
he doesn't deserve you
he doesn't deserve to be
in your head.
nor does he deserve
to be the very thing you think about
before you go to sleep
at 3a.m.
it doesn't matter
that he said he was in love with you.
because it wasn't real.
it doesn't matter
how much you may have
loved him
or how strong your feelings were.
because he obviously didn't care
I know you may think
reading those texts
over and over
will help you find closure.
but I promise you baby
it's doing you more harm
than good.
all it's doing,
is messing with a wound
that hasn't fully healed yet.
it's clear he doesn't give a ****
about you.
and I know it's hard to swallow.
and I know it's hard to breathe
at night when you're up
at 3a.m.
crying with your head
buried in your knees
screaming into your pillow
and choking on your own tears.
thinking and wondering
how someone who supposedly "loved" you
could do this.
you're not quite over it.
you still miss it
I know
don't rush yourself
but don't wait too late
and miss out on opportunities.
