you got away, yes you did
You found another reason in your research
To give me up
Was I another emotional wastebasket
Just so you could fill me up with nothing ?
Fill me up so much you had to move on
And get a new empty one.

What a powerful metaphor. Wow.
Gosh this was so heartbreaking and relatable. Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
I must say, Melissa, neither are you empty nor are you a wastebasket. Still the imagery is quite evocative.
