Thank you.

It took me every ounce of courage,

every last bit of love,

to leave.

to pack my bags,

and walk out the door.

it hurt as much as the time you first broke my heart,

the heart that was never mended by you,

by rather myself.

you taught me,

that the person who broke you,

will not,

and cannot be the person to put you back together again.

i lied in bed numbly,

hoping you'd call,

hoping you'd give me some sign of a struggle,

of you telling me you were sorry,

that the decision i made was a mistake,

and how we could fix it,

but instead,

you cut off all ties to me,

you acted as if i never existed.

as if,

you never cared,

and that showed me,

that i am worth more 

than the tears i have shed on you the past couple of years,

that i am worth more than a last priority,

that i am worth so much more.

i am a person,

with a heart,

with feelings,

who deserves to be validated,

who deserves to have someone to love them,

without any excuses,

without any other girl in the picture.

i deserve to be treated with respect,

and to be cared for.

thank you for helping me,

realize that the only person who could fix my broken heart,

was myself.

This takes soul searching to figure out and honor to then thank someone for
helping you find it, even if it's found in a bad way, bravo and. Good write.
