Balance

Honestly
I haven’t felt anything
In so long
I wonder if I still can

I wonder if I’m so broken
That my heart no longer works
And when I question
How I ended up this way
I want to point the finger at you
But I know
I know it was me

I broke myself
In giving too much of me away

Because you were broken too
So I tried to fill in your cracks
With pieces of me
And once you were whole again
You left me
And took my pieces with you

I thought they were the best
But I never gave myself credit
For all of the things I can do
I never knew all of the things I was capable of
Until the “best” of me left
But I am always me
I am always whole
And as broken as I feel
I am working just fine
So please keep those pieces
As a reminder to us both

A lesson I never thought
I needed to learn

Backstory: I guess this was something I needed to say because I just got onto the site and started typing. This is raw and unedited. I didn’t know where it was going to go and honestly I had more I could’ve written but something told me this was it. I’m going to think of this as my final release, my farewell.
