The Weight Of Your Words Poem by Lisa AT

I see it clearly through the haze,
The end of all our shared-out days.
Were we ever meant to be?
Two worlds apart, now finally free.
​I have a heart that loves and feels,
While you have anger that never heals.
I gave you depth and steady ground,
While you used words to tear me down.
​The history we built and shared
Is hollow now; you never cared.
You proved it time and time again,
A cycle where you had to win.
​By leaving you and all your lies.
You asked me once, with cold surmise,
If you were worse than he who came
To leave me bruised and in such pain.
​But bruises fade and skin will mend,
While words are jagged to the end.
They stick like shadows in the mind,
The cruelest weight you left behind.
​You've ensured my trust is gone,
I face a cold and silent dawn.
But though my heart is torn apart,
I'll find the strength to make a start.
​I am shattered, this is true,
But I will learn to live without you.
