I will use you to inspire me.
I will use you like you used me
except I will use you
to create beauty.
I will write as if my life depends on it
I will write about you
but no longer will I write for you;
I will write for myself, only.
I will become better than you.
I will sing louder
loud enough so that you can hear me
and I hope it hurts your sick little heart.
I will devote my hands to the pen
instead of your body.
I will use my voice to speak;
to speak about what you did to me.
I will use my voice to speak poetry
instead of wasting it on you.
I will chase my demons away
without you.
I spent all this time thinking
I needed you
when I don't need you at all.
I will find revenge
not by causing you pain
but by striving to rise above you
and your *******.
I will be better than you
and you will realise what you walked away from
and you will regret walking away.
One day
you will think of me
and you will hate yourself for letting me go.
You will hate yourself for hurting me
and you will break the way I broke in front of you.
I will find love
and you will never have the courage to feel anything for anyone.
You will tell your friends I'm a '******'
but if loving someone
and caring for someone
makes me a ******;
I guess I like being a ******.
I will use you like you used me
but not for greed;
to inspire me.
