poem to the ex.

There was a time in my life
Where I would have done anything for you.
I was yours unconditionally-
But you let me down in so many different ways.

The time I spent waiting for you--
Waiting for you to snap out of it
And come back wasn’t a waste of time after all.
It gave me time, time to forget.

I didn’t see it then but I see it now.
My eyes are no longer blind folded.
I feel free in a sense that I released
The love I saved for you.

I gave myself to you at one point.
Time and time again you pushed me away.
So far away that I would never
Think of looking back.

You did this to me.
The person I am today is not because of you.
It’s because of me.
I grew strong. Without you.
I don’t need you anymore.

The person I fell in love with is gone.
And the person I am today does not fit in your new life.
Nor does it want to…
