Text Exchange
I read our last text last night
I read them for the 1000th time
My eyes glazed over the words that I have now memorized
Every word, every sentence, that has haunted me for two years
I read our text last night and something clicked
I saw who you were for the first time
The way you handle stress, rejection, disobedience in me
You hated when I had a voice
You hated when I spoke the truth
You lashed out with every tactic you had in your arsenal, trying to get me back
But I left
I left you after those texts
And I'm never going back
I see you for who you are now
It breaks my heart to see such a sad little boy, desperate for someone, anyone, to stay
But that won't be me
You used me to fill the empty gaps in your life
You can't sit still, you can't just "be", that's too real for you
You fill up your time with things
Push people away who don't fit your mold
I was miserable and so were you, but the difference is that you still are
I'm free from you, from the 180 pounds of dead weight I carried for four years
I have a skip in my step, a light radiating through my chest that has been cracked open
I see you now
I know who you are
And I don't want you anymore
