You sauntered into my life as if it was yours; a birthright
You've turned my life upside down; yet this is not a love story
Laced with poison, is the wine we drink together
Gone, are the vows you made to me
Dark, is the bright future I once had
The light flickers, I hear a noise
You're home
You smile today
You take me up the stairs
    A surprise for me, you say
        I come to my senses
            It's my time to surprise
                This might hurt
                     My condolences.

I look up
at the stars,
and sometimes I
think of all
the parallel
universes and
hope to ****
I’m doing better in
one
of them.

I want to give you the sorry you never gave me,
I want to forgive you for your mistakes when you never owned up to them,
I want to give back all of the memories we had together because they do not hurt anymore.
This is my goodbye to you,
My closure,
My end to this chapter.
I no longer think of you,
The nights welcome me with open arms again,
My bed is a place where comfort now grows.
You do not hurt me anymore,
I do not hide from heartache,
I do not resent you.
I could say thanks,
I could be the bigger person,
It was the pain, though,
It made me inhuman.
I left our broken happiness in a box where I hope you'll find it,
I thought I needed an, "I'm sorry."
You did not make me a better person,
I went through a change,
An altercation.
I will say it anyways,
Thanks,
Not for the drastic changes,
A thanks to myself for finally being able to breathe again.
