Garbage Ditch

Garbage Ditch

 

A year to the day

I’ve been without you

More like

You’ve been without me

 

A year of breathing

Something other than your cheap cologne

A year of freedom

Without having you watch everything I do

 

Do you miss me?

Because I really, truly, honestly

Don’t miss you

 

The best decision I have ever

Made in my life

Was to leave you

And start all over again

Start over by myself

 

I took time to find me

I know my weaknesses

I know my strengths

And I got rid of one flaw

That flaw was you

 

I hope you’re doing good

No, I hope you’re trapped in a hole

And are trying to claw your way back up

I see you from here

I’m standing above that ditch

 

I was so insecure

So lost

I begged and pleaded

All those times you wanted to walk

Don’t you know

I begged you to stay

So I would be the one to go

 

Silly man

Naive man

Stupid man

 

I’ve never been so good

Without you

And I will always be this good

Without you 

Author's Note

You know how couples know the date of when they first started dating? Yeah, well I know every date of when I dumped my exes. Happy Anniversary Bitch.

It's good, full of emotion and raw expression. I understand the desire to take a new, better life and shove it in the face of someone you used to be with, that made the old one terrible. I also see how writing this piece would be very cathartic. However, I would caution not to dwell too long or too hard on the past. It gives perspective, true, but it can also drag you down if you let it.

Just my two cents.

Not dwelling, the thought of him came to mind since it was our 'anniversary' so I wrote this :P

Wow nice rant at someone who hurt you but from whom you escaped. It is sometime hard as us emo type tend to get in deep and stay in there despite the signs. But when we get out it is a relief. Nice piece

[Destinyxi]

Haha I remember the dumpings too. Much more important in my mind.

This is pretty sick. He sounds like a moron, making you beg. Wanted you to be dependent upon him. A*****e. I love this Kels!!

That one flaw was you.... Perfect. :)

[Destinyxi]

He was a moron haha. But I was young, I didn't realize I deserved better.

I'm glad you liked it! Felt good to write it :)
