Our Songs, Our Places, Without You Read online

  for mediocre

  love, sex, wine, or life

  sometimes you have to accept

  that you’ll never get an answer

  about why it ended

  though we feel we need

  closure

  sometimes we must accept

  that we’ll never get it

  you need to reach a point

  where you want more

  than just

  someone

  to distract you

  from the loneliness

  so many times

  the smallest snowball

  has rolled itself down

  the slopes of my mind

  and made a disaster

  out of the smallest problem

  there is nothing more powerful

  than a woman

  who is fully aware

  of everything

  she deserves

  you silenced me

  you took away my voice

  now i have finally

  freed myself

  i forgot how good it feels

  to speak for myself

  you deserve to be loved

  as if you have no past

  and don’t carry the weight

  of past failed loves

  nothing hurts quite as much

  as someone telling you

  they love you

  and then leaving

  i will

  find someone

  to love me

  in all the ways

  you never could

  i was prepared for the pain

  of broken bones and cut skin

  but nothing could prepare me

  for the pain

  of losing someone

  who once

  meant everything to me

  sometimes you just have to accept

  that the one you want

  just isn’t the right one

  for you.

  you are the storm

  you cannot tame your spirit

  to comfort someone

  too weak to handle

  your passion

  you promised

  to meet me halfway

  but i was always the one

  going all the way

  for you

  if it’s not going to matter

  in 5 years

  don’t spend

  more than 5 minutes

  worrying about it

  i should never have let

  you

  mistake

  my kindness

  for weakness

  at last, i let you go

  burning the letters

  you wrote me

  i am taking back

  our songs

  i am taking back

  our places

  i am taking back

  myself

  tonight, i’m letting you go

  for good.
