Dear Crystal ****

Dear Crystal ****

I loved you

I put so much trust in you

I spent every hour of every day confiding in you

I told you my deepest fears

I let you know how broken i was

and you ******* took advantage of me

You took everything i owned

you stole my family from under me

you robbed me of all my money

We never had a healthy relationship

 

From the first night i met you

you beat me into a ****** pulp

You made me hate everyone

You turned me into a monster just like you..

 

You dug your claws into me

You slit my skin with your razors of control

But you just brushed it off and kept destroying me

I tried so many times to leave you

I tried so hard to cut you off

But the attemps just failed

 

You flooded my mind with thoughts of you

You gave me flashbacks of when we were together

I heard your voice screaming when all i wanted to do was forget about you

You controlled every aspect of my mind

my body

And my life

 

Then one day i couldnt take it anymore

Your abuse was to muc for me

You had me on my knees begging for a saving grace

I cried

I screamed

I begged god for the light

I wanted to die

I stood on the edge of bridges

I stared at knives and blades

I felt like i couldnt continue with you

and like i definitly count continue without you..

 

Then one dark august night

God awnsered my prayers

He wrapped his arms around me and rocked me to sleep after so many weeks without closing my eyes

I slept for almost 4 days

Waking only to use the restroom and to shove any food i could find in my face

You slowly left my system

 

You didnt go peacefully of course

You paniced

You clawed

You begged me not to do this

but i didnt listen

 

I stayed true to myself

I finally left you...

 

Things wernt smooth at first

I felt lost

I was confused about everything involving life

I didnt know who i was

I thought i would for sure go running back to you

But i gave it time

 

I pushed through the hot and cold flashes

Ignored the hallucinations and the fevers

It was pure hell on earth

But the torture was worth every second because leaving you was the best decition i have ever made for myself

 

Tomarrow is 30 days free from your shackles

Life still is a constant struggle

But honestly

I would not expect any different after breaking free from the cage of satan and into the sunlight of heaven

 

I now hae so many things to be greatful for

I have a roof over my head

I bed to sleep in thats not jail or a hospital.

I am a cherished member of y family again

I found love unexpectedly with a man who makes me feel like the most beautiful woman on earth

I have my goals and morals back

I see a future for myself

and most of all..

I am thankful i am breathing because you almost killed me

 

Someone once said

"Dope heads never quit, they only take extended breaks"

Well, i am proud to say i never am allowing you back into my life

 

So thank you ****

Even though you shattered every part of my soul

I now have a brand new outlook on life

I also never would have asked my now fiance for a ride home if you had never made me so sick i was in the emergency room

I dont regret you

Because i learned so much about myself and life from you

 

But now i can finally say...

I ******* hate you and i will never be with you again

 

Sincerally:

One greatful proud, life loving forever ex tweaker <3
