True Colors

Folder: 
Love &Hate

I knew eventually I would see your true colors,

Surprised it didn’t take too long.

You told me I was sprung and you couldn’t have been

More wrong.



Just like you, I’m analytical,

And you showed me some things that were

Critical,



Like how you feel the need to always be in control

And must always have your way,

Me learning this about you made it easy for me when you

Chose not to stay,



At first I was it really hurt me,

That it was so easy for you to leave.

You seemed so unaffected.

And I couldn’t believe.



I allowed myself to care too much while you didn’t

Care at all.

If you were so unaffected why was I hoping you would call?



So I did some thinking, came to a conclusion and made a choice,

I will no longer need to hear or be affected by your voice.



I can no longer care that you said “you’re done”

I’ll just let it go and move on.



I won’t allow myself to feel like I’d rather not get out of bed,

Today you really don’t matter; I’ve gotten you out of my head.



I’m no longer fighting with myself not to call your phone or send you

A text,

Just like there were some before me, you can move on to the next.



Thank you for showing me your true colors, you made it easier for me

To say good bye,

And though I did the first time, this time I won’t cry.
