PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Im breathing air but my breath it slowly fading away

I wanted to be there for you but it wasn't safe to stay 

Neither one of us could live those kinds of lives

 We're lucky enough that both or one of us survives

And the pain is excruciating and takes us to our knees

But its so much better than begging you to cease

Cease to hurt me. And yea, even cease to exist 

And although I'm finding my own smile each day, the pain persists. 

The fear is nagging at my heart

Tugging me and pulling me. Leading me to the dark

You showed me things I never wanted to see

And slowly I became the girl I swore to never be

And I didn't want to leave I want to stay close to you

But I needed to go. We both know that's true. 

All that remains now are ashes and broken pieces 

And blood marking our cracks and creases 

But I will stay. Stay far. Even know I never feel safe

And at times I remeber I love and I cave to crave. 

But I'm better than this and the oath that was written us

I have to walk away with both our lives and leave you in the dust. 

I have to find myself again, and I am.

Im stronger than I have ever been

More free than any freedom given 

Ill write my own story and I have written. 

Every day. Every memory and every piece will be replaced 

No, I know it will never ever be erased 

But surging is just what I do

And it wasn't just luck that made me survive loving you

It strength of my own will and the strength of others 

That helped me make my mind and now my life is starting to find its colors

I won't say I wish I never met you

But I do wish I could undo 

Everything that had happened in between 

And unseen the things that I have seen 

But now they're just written on my skin, scats and marks 

That tell the story of me and how I have became 

My only desire is that you also let go, forgive and allow the scars to do the same
