Years have passed
You’ve gotten to make vows and replace a girls’ last name with your own
The same girl you told me not to worry about
The same girl you told me that I was crazy to think you wanted
The same girl you told, that you couldn’t wait to spend every night for the rest of your lives sleeping next to
Even though I was nuzzled in your arms and under your sheets
Even though those very thoughts you had for her - I had for you…
When I had read that
When everything was said and done, it never was… done
It still isn’t
I didn’t just have to grieve a relationship
I grieved a future that would never be
I grieved children we spoke of raising
I grieved a lifetime
I grieved the person I was before you- a person that still believed in the good
A person that believed in second chances
Because I can never be that person again
That person got me hurt
That person got me heartbroken
That person got me to a point where I had to look in the mirror and change the person I saw
And that person was the worst
Of all the terrible and atrocious things that I’ve endured
The times on the couch I couldn’t wait to get over with -
The time I was sore, saw them zip their pants and it made sense.
The time I made everyone I cared for watch me unravel and make the worst decisions
You
You are the worst things I’ve had to endure
So I hope you get what you deserve - whatever it may be
