The End

It was not easy to say goodbye
I still wish that our story,
Had ended differently
It was painful,
Carving out the pieces of my heart,
Branded with your name

I missed what we used to be
A beautiful story,
That morphed into a nightmare
When did transparency and honesty,
Become disrespect?
When did being human, flawed,
And imperfect become a sin?
When did you decide that my heart is disposable,
Fit to be trampled on and wounded?

Over and over again
You hurt me so easily
I was willfully blind to all of it
I can admit that

All the time,
Dissenting voices,
Threatened our togetherness
I stood by our story, our journey
I wanted to talk it out,
Iron out the kinks.

I cared about your happiness,
Our Happiness
All my attempts were met
With solid begrudging silence

It dawned on me slowly, reluctantly
I could no longer lie to my heart
Our chapter together was over.
