PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I made you the center of my universe,

but you rocked my world.

I was blinded

by what I thought was forever.

But rose-colored glasses

warp the truth.

You made promises 

you couldn't keep.

You hurt me and

didn't apologize.

You led me in a dance

that left me contorted.

You burned me but slow enough

I didn't notice my skin was singed.

You torn down my forest,

one tree at a time.

And when it was all over,

you blamed me for our failure.

I thought I deserved it,

this heartbreak that destroyed me.

It took me months to realize

I was worth more than you gave me credit for.

I had forgotten how to

value myself in the meantime.

Losing you gave me the chance

to find myself.
