your quiet
pierced my heart
like a dagger
without compassion
your indifference
whispered to me
that there was
no love left
your promise
til death
do us part
became meaningless
my fairytale
ended before
it had ever started
my control
consumed me
until there was
nothing left
my tears
my sadness
my emptiness
my lack
all stemmed from
so very long ago
i am broken
i am not whole
i am not enough
none of this is true
and all these years later
i do not hold anger
in my heart
what was once
our ocean
of nothingness together
became my sea
of endless possibilities
it is through you
that i started learning
to love myself
