Crippling persuasion

I was afraid to be alone

Afraid to be without you

Afraid to stand on my own two feet

Afraid to trust myself

Afraid to breath on my own

Now everyday, my mind is

Getting stronger

My body is getting stronger

And my love for me is growing deeper

And I realize, I shouldn’t need you

I should want you in my life

You should complement me

And the things I have going on

I should be happy

To be with you

But content, and at peace

Without you

Not emotionally dependent on you

I have to learn how to trust myself

How to let go, and NOT keep looking back

As if there’s something I’m going to miss

No, I should cherish the memories

And hold on to the lessons learned,

For my future.

For my sanity.

For my story.

The love has always been deep,

Genuine, real

And indentation in my heart

And soul

But the conflict too great

Too many obstacles,

Too many words exchanged

Too much done

The question remains

Is it salvageable?

Is it worth it?
