Victory

Free of your grip on me.

I thought this would be a victory,

but now I'm drowning.

Drowning in my guilt.

In the pain, the knowledge.

I've yet to see you at your weakest,

but I felt you come close this day.

I almost saw that side,

the side of you with sadness.

The same sadness you put in me.

I wished for this so called victory.

Day after day I sought to achieve it.

I finally caught my freedom,

but now I've lost myself.

Who am I without you?

You were my identity.

Who can I be without my other half?

My other half, the half that tore me down.

What will I do with this bitter victory?

The victory I now realize I never really wanted.

A victory that broke me.

Though it is a little rough around the edges I could feel the emotion you put into it. Interesting write Madelyn.
