Love doesn’t mean I stay broken where you left me. You were that winter storm and now that the skies are clear I am unshaken unremoved, reborn from the wreckage. Your words? They pierced and they were stuck with me for a long time.. but; I have let go of it all, the ache, the hope the thousand what ifs that chained me to your ghost I have dropped it all like dead weight from my shoulders :) I have burned the bridges drowned the ashes and salted the ground where your shadow lingered. Your hatred? It used to crack the walls inside me, Now it just brushes past like wind against stone I don’t flinch I don’t feel This is not rage but this is just absence You are nothing in my chest now no flicker, no flame just frost on a name I don’t say anymore! I do not glance back Not for a memory Not for a may be Not the girl I used to be when I still flinched at your name. I have left you behind- forever, No pause, No softness, No Glimpse.
