I want to thank you...
All of the pain you left me
Generated
Something amazing.
It echoed through
Three separate rings.
Into the Aether
It is fading.
I need to thank you...
I'll raise a drink to
What you did.
All of the fractures you left
In my head.
All of the words that you buried.
Unsaid.
-
I look back quite often
To keep my path steady.
I've ripped out your roots,
I can do this.
I'm ready.
I'm ready for love,
I will love,
Come and get me.
I will let someone love me
Who will not
Regret me.
-
And you?
I hope that you are doing well.
I don't carry that anger
You used as a shell.
I won't live with that
Heavy feeling
That I had
In my chest
When I left you,
It was for the best.
-
Had to reset my sanity,
Reel it all in...
I was shattered,
And you tried to
Still be my "friend".
That was selfish of you.
I still loved,
That was true.
And you knew
You could slide in,
Unseen and amused...
-
I must thank you...
I look at the several books that I've written...
You suppressed all my light,
All my talent I was forgettin'
I love my readership.
With all their daily views,
I am smitten.
They saw my fragile heart
And they carried it
Like a kitten.
-
I must thank you
For them.
For you, bringing them in.
Because without that pain
It would have never begun.
I would have never started
To write once again
Had I not walked away
Had we not had to end.
-
I should thank you
For never loving me,
Like they do.
They love me
For my talent.
My passion.
Not you.
All these readers
Believe in
The writer in me.
They believe
In the me
That I wanted to be.
-
I should thank you.
For being a muse
In the darkest of ways.
Through my darkest of days.
Through the darkest of waves.
You buried my heart
In the darkest of graves.
-
But I need you to see
The whole tree
That I grew.
I've flourished for me,
Couldn't do it for you.
Now all these things are true.
Thank you for doing me dirt.
Had to run from your rain,
But I grew from the hurt.
I must thank you...
