Cannot Stop Loving You

Darling, the truth is that I cannot unlove you.
I cannot take back the feelings and emotions
When they are running deep. You chose to
Not love me back. When someone moves oceans
Just to make me happy, do not be angry or mad
Because although that should have been
You, it is not. Just be pleased and glad
Someone is rightfully treating me like a queen
When you could have not done it yourself.
You are the one who broke me and believed
That I was not good enough when the shelf
Was becoming too heavy. I wore long sleeved
Shirts to cover the bruises from the pain
And scars. For a moment there the light
Was too much for me. There is still the stain
On the pillow I still hold tight late at night.
Although I am trying to move on I can truly
Never forget you because you are someone
Who lingers. Darling, I try to be a newly
Reformed woman, but I still struggle to run
Away from the one thing that tried to break her
And me. Step away before you make the both
Of us doubtful and to make things so unsure.
I need to be a part of my own learning and growth.
