I’m not angry anymore

You had your reasons for leaving

As I have my reasons to leave you

Where you belong

In the past

I no longer search for you

In crowded places

Why should I?

You left with jagged cuts

Across my skin

I’ll heal overtime

I always do.

You’ll be just another scab

Over a wound

that I will eventually

disregard as another trial and error.

As I heal

Reality kisses my eyes

Internally breaking my chains

Over you is where I long to be

Replenishing the parts of me I had

Given to you

Allowing the sands of time

Breathe new life into this heart of mine

Earning a second chance with someone else

Who will love me and in all my imperfections

Without hesitation

Without false promises

Without a mask.
