A Little Time Out Of My Day (Poetry Sidebar: Vol Three)
I think we reached the end
Is it okay to say
I see we're both at the door
Emotions packed away
I say "I'll miss..."
You say "That's okay"
I guess we shouldn't make this harder than we have to
I'm looking at you
You're looking past us
I'm wondering what we had was
At least we had love
At least we had trust
But why wasn't that enough
I know the answers
Just pondering them
Through the healing phase
Do you feel the same
We talked about everything
But now its silent
Can't read your emotions
Because you're hiding
Not that I'm owed that
Or that I was ever owed anything
Just acknowledging the change
I think its time for me to love me like before
I was constantly panicked by what the world had in store
Before I shifted and changed course
To be what I had to
They think I got time to judge
I'm looking past you
To next step
Heartbreak
Haven't taken a breathe yet
So I inhale
And let it out
Still hope the best for you
But now I also want what's best for me
Thought we made each other whole
But I needed to leave to finally feel complete
Don't take this wrong
It's all love like before
I could never hate you
And I'd always choose us
Even knowing how it ended
You told me that all the people who doubted me
Would ultimately regret it
So I'm here letting go
And manifesting
Better
