Who Did I Think You Were?

I remember when I had nothing but you
It was a long time ago
When I was younger, reckless, stupid
It was at a time when I didn't know my worth
A time where I didn't know how just how valuable I was
And you tried to sell my mind and soul back to me at lower than floor value

Fuck you

I tried so hard to get you out of my mind
Even after our demise and you were no more
Even after I walked out that front door and realized I wasn't who I was before
I thought back to my false notions and ideals and
Felt sick to my stomach

I kept trying to figure out who you thought you were
I kept trying to figure out who I thought you were
When all along I should have just been focusing on who I was and who I am and what I'm worth

I would have left you behind much sooner.

you say you love someone. and you know it, they know it. even if you hadn't told them, they know because they can feel it, you can feel it. you're so in love with the thought of them.

Sometimes

Sometimes you have to just stop trying to repair. It's not that you are giving up in despair. It's actually moving on to something new. Opening your mind and heart to see a different point of view.

A Brand New Day

The game of life is made. The characters we do create. The divine intervention of new feelings. The invention of new words and meanings. New followers and a new believing. A new felt inner being.

Reinventing My Exit

Reinventing my destiny, opening closed eyes as thoughts of my future warms the depth of my soul. Uninvited negative obsessions burn and vanish into the depths of my mind.

Wow! So bluntly, LOVED IT! That's how I felt with my first ex girlfriend 👿

yeah! It's a crazy sobering feeling - you get to the point where you realized that you put too much emphasis into someone; when they weren't all that important to begin with / it's crazy!

@nouseforaname totally, and to make it worse, this person who we thought is important has wasted our best youth on them 😡👿
