Dear Ex-Love

Dear Ex-love of my life,

-

I’ll pour my heart and soul,

I thought we would grow old,

With you, I spent my youth,

Wasted is the truth.

-

I never thought I'd write this letter,

To the one who left my heart in tatters,

Now it really makes sense,

The world seems so dense.

-

I’ll burn your roses,

Vanished like your promises,

I'll let the thorns pierce my skin,

And bleed out the love that I had within.

-

When you said you needed space to breathe,

I thought it was just a passing breeze.

When you left me all alone,

I knew I’d lost the life I had known.

-

No explanations were given,

And my heart was left completely driven,

To figure out the reasons for your departure,

But all I found was a sense of torture.

-

I found cruelty in your absence,

Leaving me to mend my own defense,

You left without a clue

Now I say goodbye to you

-

Sincerely,

The best life you left behind.
