I am hurting so much. Why am I still here ? I just want it to end. You treat her like a queen, with gentle reverence, tenderness and celebration, a kind of love I did not deserve and never received from you. Maybe it is because it was never love as you said. I was just a wound, a trauma bond that you needed to face to move on towards the most healing and fulfilling love you deserve. I was a stepping stone in a muddy creek that brought you to a beautiful waterfall. I am tormented in my days and in my dreams by how happy I am for you and how sad I am for me, my heart fills and breaks at the same time. I realise It is not a one way street. I know I didn’t love you the way you deserved, not because I didn’t want to, but because I wasn’t capable of it. I had never seen healthy love modelled before and I was only just unearthing those truths when you decided you were done with me. For all my failings you didn’t love me the way I deserved either. The difference was I forgave you for your mistakes and I was in it for the long hall. I wanted to learn and to grow together, you made me think you did too. You threw me out like trash without a chance of redemption and built a new life wit her full of tenderness and loyalty you never gave me. I want to rip my heart out most days for still caring. What is this life I have created and why can I not break free of it. I spend my spare moments once again fantasising of ways to end it all. I want this pain and this life to be over. I want to be free.
