Today, I finally confronted the monster clinging and clawing at my brain,
A question I’ve tried to ask myself countlessly while we were together.
Tell me, why wasn’t I good enough to be with you?
You told me commitment scared you,
You weren’t ready for a relationship anytime soon.
I understood, I stayed. I did this for three whole months.
Almost as quick as the weather, your emotions changed.
Your silence became defining, a sharp knife.
You leaving fairly quickly came as no surprise to me, but
You found yourself almost immediately in a relationship.
I felt shock instantly radiate throughout my being.
I tried to be everything to you, but I fell short every time.
Just the thought of it made me numb, unable to speak.
I blamed myself because I didn’t know what else to do.
Today, I have decided that I deserve love;
To be swept off of my feet, to be wanted and cherished.
I deserve passion and happiness.
Today, because of his actions, I realized my self-worth,
And I will no longer settle for almost relationships.
