I dreamed I was slow dancing with myself under a pale moonlight, as you're shadow watches in the corner.
Shivers shimmied down my back as I realized you were watching my back.
I had to lose you to love myself, I had to let your memory go into the passed where you came from.
I tried surfing your waves but you kept crashing into me with no remorse or concerns for my life.
I was drowning in your depths, lost my sanity and self worth.
While you lied and accused me, you left me in the dust choking on your pollution.
Love, you forgot about me, you neglected to love me, you never cared about my fragile heart.

This is for all the lonely nights I stayed up late paranoid and anxious thinking he was going to come and attack me again. I have to be strong and brave. I have to remember I am safe because he's gone, I got away from my abuser. I am a survivor not a victim. I already was the victim.
