Changing Connection

Living in an unsure world

Our connection was my cure

It was pure, made me feel secure

And it was vice versa too

But it had a different effect on you

Looking back and looking now

Can't help but think about how

I feel like I was the one

Who made you miserable

Who made you sad

Who messed up thoughts inside your head

Unintentionally but I still did

Something I wish I could deny

Now that no longer happens and I'm glad

But I paid the price with a sacrifice

With saying goodbye to the connection we had

I traded your inner peace for my paradise

Now I listen to your laugh being louder

I see you smile often and a lot

I hear the joy in your conversations

But what hurts me more than I thought

The thing turning my stomach into a knot

Is that your happiness was all I ever wanted

Yet I'm left feeling haunted

Because your smile, laughter and words

Are more than they were before

And of course it's what I prefer

But it's also my struggle, my poetic justice

That you seem happier than you were

'Because your smile, laughter and words

Here you perfectly capture the feelings of moving on and yet finding difficulties in letting go.

I love ❤️ the way you write. I love your poetic perspective on life.
