STILL NOT OVER IT

Still Not Over It”

by MissT

I gave him joy while I sank in despair,

Took him on trips just to show I still care.

Smiled through the silence, broke bread through the ache,

While he took and he took till there was nothing to take.

They say I was cruel, but they weren’t in my shoes,

Didn’t see me clean messes or hide every bruise.

Cruel doesn’t carry a man through his pain,

While she’s out in the cold, choking back rain.

I feel so damn raw cause I loved him for real,

Gave him a home and a heart he could steal.

Now he’s moved on like it cost him no price,

And I’m left with the ghost of being too nice.

No, I don’t want him back, not even a kiss,

I just want the woman he buried in this.

The one who gave freely, with no need to bend,

The one who said stop, and meant it would end.

One day I’ll wake without feeling the flame,

Without hearing his voice when they whisper my name.

And when that day comes, I’ll no longer feel torn,I’ll be whole, I’ll be loud,

I’ll be utterly reborn.
