Love without attachment

If I never went through any of it
I would never know my strength

I’m not angry anymore
I feel sorry for you
How much you must hate yourself
To weave such an intricate web of lies
To trick me into loving you

I’ve moved on
I’ve healed
I’m happy
And yet, there is still pain trapped in my body
And I’m scared to find out what it’s from
So I carry it with me instead
Waiting for the day
I’m ready to let go

Regardless of the pain I went through because of you
I wouldn’t change a thing.
You showed me what cycles I needed to break
Thank you.

the impact of heartbreak

After all this time
I’m still afraid to love again
