Thought #11

Saying good-bye to the one you love will tear at your heart, and make your eyes flood. Time, fifteen minutes or so and the ache is just that an ache. You always know that one love, the one love who will never be yours. And for me, that was you.

Tears of crystal submission

burn my cheeks

blinding my sight as I face you

the truth you are holding up.

I created a man

of fiction.

The love I felt

an illusion.

It does not make it easier

in fact

if anything facing this facade

makes me want to hide.

How could I have been so blind?

I am strong enough.

I have learned enough about myself

to know that I am dear.

Watch my ass as I walk away. 

I will stand true

not allow myself to falter

accept a small penance of pain

than move on.

Would you like to know

in 2018

how a woman moves on?

She deletes all your texts.
