scarred

I promised myself

I'd be kind to my heart.

That I'd do

everything right.

This time.

and forever more.

Because I know

what I deserve

is much bigger and greater

than what I have

now.

I pushed everyone else

out

and made room in my

heart and soul

for you.

All I needed was

your truths.

Betrayed again,

yet no more the victim.
