Mountains of hard white rocks
Crumble when hearts break down
Speeding like a cockroach avoiding demise
Selfish mind telling you nothing else matters.
You guilt me to give you your way
Till I have given every last speck
Of heart I had left to give
Now, not even dust remains.
Killing me slowly under your thumb
With your salted pretty promises
Made with a forked acidic tongue
And angel like devil eyes.
Your lack of any and all action
Has said enough to my blind eyes
But my sickly torn heart
Only chose to say give me more.
I finally saw your true ugly face
Told you to make a choice
Me all in, or you relying on your vice,
I'm actually glad I wasn't your choice.
You made it a lot easier for me
To finally grieve then let you go
Guess I should be thanking you
For breaking those unbearable chains.
Now I can heal
Now I can breathe
Now I can finally
Start taking care of me.
Cause what was it really?
Only just a dream
Time to wake up
And find the better me.

The truth hurts
I'm allowing my heart to be repeatedly mistreated And my feelings invalidated over and over For the sake of some chance That you will eventually start loving me, like I deserve to be loved. And in turn I eventually stop loving myself. The crazy part is I lie to myself and say I'm doing it for love. But if I take an honest look at it, at some point, I start doing it because I am scared. Scared that I'm once again going to end up feeling like I'm not enough. I keep going through the same cycle, Telling myself one day you will finally hear me and make the choice to be better for me. So I continue to put up with you disregarding my feelings, because it's easier for me to tell myself that eventually I will be enough for you to want to change. Rather then to have to accept that you will probably choose to just let me walk away when the time comes that I can't put up with it anymore. And I will have to face that I put all that time, effort, and pain, into someone who once again would rather let me walk away than be accountable for their actions. So I stay stuck. Because as painful as it is putting myself through this, I know that pain is nothing compared to what I will feel when I finally have to accept that I wasn't enough.

Sometimes it best to just move on, that’s for sure! I enjoyed your cockroach metaphor! 😊👍
I love your use of imagery. Sometimes the things that seem unbearable are what we needed to begin to become whole. Thank you for sharing this.
A cross section of the humans. Nicely done!
Toxic relationship know how to pull you in but we have to stick to our healthy logic to get rid of toxic. Nice Work !!!!
