Things have never been the same since... 👞

You said it was better off dead! ðŸŠĶ

You may have never wanted it, but I did! 👰‍♀ïļ

I wanted rings to prove people wrong. ⭕

Show them you treated me like a queen. 👑

But people could see the toxic I was blind to. ☠ïļ

I still think of the blood-stained fingers ðŸĐļ

On that bench, you insisted had privacy. 🔒

The nights we spent together in bed. 🛏ïļ

I never got to meet your family or go to your shrine. 👊🏞

Maybe you'll read this, and maybe you won't. 📰

The red flags are there, but I still believe in you. ðŸŸĨ

Deep inside, the man I loved pre-covid will return. 😷

I know your biggest wish is to leave this world. ⚰ïļ

We may be blocked, but I beg you to seek help. 🆘

I want the person I fell in love with back, but he's gone. ðŸĨ

I hope I've done the right thing, I will take care of myself. 👊

When our paths meet again, I will be the best version of myself. ðŸĐ°

I'll go to all the places you didn't want me to go...👠

And keep in mind whatever I did and do is for the best 💙

For both of us. 💔
