This week's piece:

 

 

 

I saw you in my dream last night.

Though we fell apart, your smile warmed my heart...just like it used to.

When I decided to be honest with myself, I knew 

There's no way I could ever let myself forgive you.

I just choose to mask my anger with the joy you always brought me,

To plant new flowers and watch them grow,

the same way that you taught me.

You stole a part of my soul...but I still have to let go.

I'm not saying I was perfect, but you redefined betrayal

I was blinded by rage...

Now I'm afraid I'll never be the same.

Both of you forgot loyalty

Why didn't you think of me?

You always cross my mind

In time, I'll figure out why you were here

Why someone so surely meant to be by my side

Let temptation blind you.

I'll never not care,

For the record.

 

-you're either a blessing or a lesson...no hard feelings.
