Some time has past
But I can still feel the sting.
Your empty words had
Cut me open from the inside.
I thought you were different.
I thought I could trust you.

Did you also feel pain?
Why were you the one crying?
Didn’t you want to fix it?
Why do you continue to ignore me?
You knew what was going to happen,
Didn’t you?

I no longer feel that burning anger.
I no longer feel that sorrow.
I only feel indifference.
I cared deeply once
But now I just don’t.
If that’s all it took,
Then maybe
Good riddance.

With or without you
I’ll keep on running
And reaching for the stars.
If we do speak again,
I want you to look at me differently.
Not like before,
But as someone new.
I’ve grown.
And I hope you have too.
