It is hard
when you've spent
your whole life
alone
that when someone comes along
to accompany you
you feel hope again.
They make the pain stop
and lift the weight off your chest
so you can breathe.
But with that power
they can also unfasten
their ties to you
and let the weight
fall back down.
They become absent
and merely a memory
you try so hard
to forget.
This person
breaks you
worse than you thought
imaginable--
how could you
let them do such a thing?
They gives excuses
and degrade you
for things you cannot control
until eventually
they "give up"
and move on.
In your life
plagued by loneliness
you thought they
were the one
who could finally break that spell,
but they weren't.
They were put in your life
so you could learn
that you need yourself
the most.
Eventually,
you will find that person
whom makes it effortless
to feel the warmth and comfort
of a true love.
They will show you
what it means
to respect you
and everything that you are.
Stick with the person
whom doesn't give guidelines
for you to follow,
rather the one
who embraces your potential
and aids in your successes.
Most of all,
find solace in being alone
because you have yourself
no matter what.
