Your Choice

You can only take what you are willing to receive.

We give the ones that broke our hearts too much power.

See ourselves as helpless prey for predators to devour.

Agonize over feelings that solve nothing.

Blame ourselves and say we were too trusting.


I am done feeling sorry for myself

And chasing a phantom of the person that I left.

I cannot say you left if you were never all in.

How can there be an ending where nothing began?


I am owed nothing.

Not time

Not attention

Hope

Nor affection.

I have found the cure for my lovesick affliction.

It's good to find that independent state. It is much easier to revisit upon each heartbreak - yet it hardens us too. Interesting pic choice. See that style a lot round here now. Well done.

I appreciate it :)

You capture a forlorn resignation in the tone of this one; that of someone bitten and bitter but determined to learn and survive. Flowing and engaging with a message of hope.

Thank you.
