What killed me the most
was watching you with her
kissing, hugging, loving

What broke my heart
was hearing you tell her
you loved her and that you’d never leave

What was poison in my veins
was knowing you had said
that same thing to me
With the same love in your eyes

What helped me sleep at night
was shedding my tears, the tears
you used to wipe away

What kept me in bed some days
was understanding that you were
actually gone and never coming back

But what gave me the strength to move on
was MY courage, MY bravery and
MY longing to acquire new things in my life.
