Breaking Up Is The First Step Towards Recovery

Breaking Up Is The First Step Towards Recovery

A Poem by Travis Prino

You watched me fall

sinking deeper than either of us thought

and I'm such a mess

it's plain to see you were my last line of defense

you let me go this time

forever was a lie

you cut me down

scars and bruises are what define me now

I've come so far

I've left behind the broken fragments of my heart

you let me go this time

forever just wasn't right


I'll never forgive you for what you have done

I'm mending all the pieces and I'm back to where I started from

you almost killed me with this devastating blow

as far as I'm concerned you're dead to me and I'll let go

I'll never forgive you for what you have done

I'm mending all the pieces and I'm back to where I started from

you almost killed me with this devastating blow

as far as I'm concerned you're dead to me and I'll let go


you watched me slide

shadows hid from you the tears in my eyes

and I'm moving on

we dragged this out and tortured ourselves for too long

you let me go this time

forever became benign

you were so fake

it seems you're becoming my least favorite mistake

and I'm better off

since you've been gone I'm starting to feel like myself

you let me go this time

forever has changed my life


I'll never forgive you for what you have done

I'm mending all the pieces and I'm back to where I started from

you almost killed me with this devastating blow

as far as I'm concerned you're dead to me and I'll let go

I'll never forgive you for what you have done

I'm mending all the pieces and I'm back to where I started from

you almost killed me with this devastating blow

as far as I'm concerned you're dead to me and I'll let go


you won't see me in the waiting room

it's only for family and friends

you won't be there in the waiting room

cause it's only for family and friends

today my life begins

today my life begins again


I'll never forgive you for what you have done

I'm mending all the pieces and I'm back to where I started from

you almost killed me with this devastating blow

as far as I'm concerned you're dead to me and I'll let go

I'll never forgive you for what you have done

I'm mending all the pieces and I'm back to where I started from

you almost killed me with this devastating blow

as far as I'm concerned you're dead to me and I'll let go


the halo I saw above your head

it came crashing on me instead.
