Was it all a lie? Tell me why.
You told me of all the sleepless nights and pain you’d felt for other guys you’d left - who lasted, meant and shared barely a fraction of what we had.
Engulfed in love that blossomed, when I looked at you I knew
Nothing else now mattered, with unwavering conviction the belief
There was no one for me, but you
.
I held my breath and waited; until you finally confessed, I was all you’d ever wanted
The bond, the joy, the lust – a mutual obsession – infinite and insatiable
Engulfed in love that blossomed, when I looked at you I knew
.
You confided childhood trauma, I’ve never told a soul
All I wanted was to heal you, help you forget it all
There was no one for me, but you
.
We danced and made magic happen
We also made mistakes; mine trauma-based, coping their only intention
Engulfed in love that blossomed, when I looked at you I knew
.
We found ‘Forever Love’ on a Saturday, the same day that I lost you
Promising never to abandon me, then decapitated all contact, surely not forever
There was no one for me, but you
.
Never thought you capable – of callous, hateful, pain inflicted - void of all remorse
Torn apart as months became years; faded love formed a cold heart, that was once
Engulfed in love that blossomed, when I looked at you I knew
There was no one for me, but you

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

This is beautifully written. Well done.
"Promising never to abandon me, then decapitated all contact, surely not forever" It's funny how the ones who tell us that they'd never leave are the ones to leave us. Empty words and promises. I'm so sorry if this happened to you. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
This is a beautiful poem! Loved it!
