Fresh Air

I love who you use to be
The person you were when you were young and free
I love the person you use to be
The person you were when you were in love with me

I hate the person you have become
The person who is now emotionally numb
I hate the person you have become
The person who acts reckless and dumb

It is funny how things have play out
You're laughing well I scream and shout
It is funny how things have played out
I care well your heartless throughout

Well you can finally up and leave
It hurts but for the first time I can breathe

    Short but sweet and to the point. The end of a relationship is always painful.. You sit and wait and wait hoping it gets better but deep down you see no true light at the end of the tunnel.

    That is what I get from this work of art.

    PS - Thank you for your comment on my work. I always enjoy those :). But no - none of it is made up. I always find a way to surrender to her eyes and false lies of "wanting" me. But that is life I suppose...
    Keep up the work of art you have here <3

    This write reminds me of a book called co-dependent no more. It is about standing on your own though the love (family too) in our life keeps bringing us down, we have to strive to be independent. No longer depending on the outcome of what you know will happen, because it usually is bad.

    Sometimes the only way we can breathe is when we remove ourselves from a situation.
    I love how you brought this out even among the dislikes you have mentioned.

    I think there is one small mistake in the poem though, I believe you may have meant "while" instead of "well" in this line....

    "It is funny how things have play out
    You're laughing well I scream and shout"

    Besides that the poem was a much enjoyable read.
