Description
it took me yearsto see through all the
sugar coated lies and
half truths uttered
past your lips.
it comes as easy as breathing to you. or
maybe as easy as making your heart beat.
after all, you don't have to think about
that.
it took me months
to realize all the dreams
you fed me
were just stories, fantasies, and
nothing more.
when you told me to reach for the
heavens, you must have forgotten to
warn me that i'd burn my hands on the
stars.
it took me weeks
to discover all the hatred
shining in your eyes
and weaving through
your words like
venom.
sometimes i wonder, did you ever
love me, really?
i guess i'll never know.
it took all this and more,
but darling,
all it took were seconds
for me to walk away
from you.

Amen. A story of growing up, but most of all, letting go of someone that hurts us more than love us. I loved it!
