Love, Me

You definitely had me fooled;

Made me feel like I was nothing without you.

I gave you my all and you pushed me away

You came back and I opened up

I was crazy for you,

I still am.

You brought the flames,

Put me through hell.

But after everything you've done,

You made me realize I need to be independent.

I don't need you.

It's hard to let go;

It's hard to leave;

It's hard to forget you,

But you don't need me.

I know that now.

Loving you was a mistake,

A pleasurable one.

I'm not happy it had to end.

I still had hopes.

You killed them.

I still had faith,

Not anymore.

I kept holding on,

You let me fall.

I was weak, 

I still am.

I cried my heart out,

You didn't care.

It's not going to be the same anymore.

It already feels different without you.

I'll cherish the good times,

You'll have a piece of my heart.

And for a little while I'd be incomplete.

I'd be broken and sad

But I will survive;

I know I will.

I can thank you for how strong I will become.

I know I can make it on my own.

I know it'll be better.

And one day I'd look back at this moment,

Not with remorse or sadness;

But with happiness and joy.

Knowing I'm finally free of my love for you.
