A letter to my ex, Carleigh

Dear Carleigh,

I hope this letter finds you well

Though it's been to long to dwell

That I've grown since we last spoke

And now my heart is no longer broke

As I pondered over your sudden departure

My being became an unstable structure

My heart sank deep in a well of despair,

And my mind struggled to grasp the sudden affair.

You left me in a state of pain

But looking back, it was a gain

For in your absence, I found love

A love that came from up above

I learned to cherish my own worth

To put myself first on this earth

No longer did I need your validation

To find joy and affirmation

So thank you for walking away

For it led me to a brighter day

Now I can say with all my heart

That self-love is where I start

Sincerely,

Sarah
