AN ODE TO THE LOST LOVE

Almost everyone in life has had to let go of love to find love. May this poem touch a soul and speak life and courage to someone going through a hard time with a break up...it hurts but it heals too. keep loving.

I hungered for your affection 

All I needed was your attention

But my heart was always in ER section

It’s clear we lost the connection

And so I watched you leave

You said you’ve had it to your sleeve

When all you did was to deceive

What you want, you achieve

But allow me to say Thank you:

For the loss of affection: I learnt to love myself more

For tears I cried: I realized crying is breathing for the soul

For ignored calls: I found comfort in God

For texts never replied: It helped focus on myself

Thank you

For the arguments: It brought out things I didn’t know about you

For calling me names: I found myself

For calling me inferior: I gained confidence

For giving up on me: I learnt to trust myself even more

For hurting my feelings: It made me stronger

For leaving: I found LOVE

Thank you because it broke me, but made me better at loving. Thank you for showing me another side I couldn’t have handled.
