A Letter To My Ex

I believe that you deserve the best.

I had to do right by you, and that’s the only reason I left.

I couldn’t take handle the stress of giving you less than the world.

I wanted to be your woman,

But I was saving a little girl.

By healing my inner child.

Trying hard to move on

I didn’t want to break us, just break the trauma bond.

I know I seemed so strong…

But inside I was shattered.

I was living for you, cause my own life didn’t matter.

Carrying my baggage never really had you tripping.

But it was holding you back from the good life you could be living.

And don’t doubt the time we shared, don’t doubt I really cared

I would’ve loved you to the death of us

So please consider yourself spared.

When I cut all ties with you

I freed us both from a doomed fate.

If I held on for one more second, I fear it would’ve been too late.

I hit block and delete because I wanted us both to be great.

So I hope you find the one,

Who makes you happy in ways I never could.

I hope her love dries all the tears you were hoping that I would.

I hope when you make love to her, she’s the only woman on your mind.

I hope she’s nothing like who I was, and everything you prayed you’d find.

You should know I found someone…

Not to brag, boast, or avenge.

He saw the best in me, when I was fighting demons within.

I talked to God before I wrote this, because he knows all of my sins.

And even then…

You were my favorite mistake.

You were the best lesson.

I hope someday you see my absence will be your greatest blessing.

This was a letter to my ex…
