HURT

Typing, because I have a daughter to provide for
Chest so tight
Listening to Aretha sing out “Are you leaving me”
I feel like I took a swift kick to the stomach
I havn’t ate in days
One meal a day is all I can handle
I know it’s not about him
But these words
“You know this is not the real me, you need to stay and set me free”
I AM NOT FREE
Bound in a likable package
But HE DIDNT LIKE ME
The things I whispered, every word was meant
I exposed myself and gave him power
TO LEAVE FIRST
Can’t handle this
Keep picking myself up
To take a few steps
Only to falter a bit
Is this what hurt feels like?
I am suffering
I showed my true self
He walked out
My biggest fear
REVEALED
Broken down in two weeks
My head says that crazy
My heart, though, sees no difference
