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
