Let me help you out-
when you feel small and ask the silence
to remind you of who you are
when your mind replays the good memories
don’t forget to also remember the fact that
he never planned to stay.
He never wanted to build a home with you.
He just wanted all your love
which you so graciously served on a silver platter
because that’s the beautiful person
you are.
He wanted your light
so you turned the spotlight his way.
He wanted romance and you gave him
ecstasy.
Your love is selfless.
You are magic.
Stop wasting time and energy
crying over someone who used you up
just until they decided a different way to be happy
would certainly be better.
Stop wasting time and energy
wishing for someone to return when they couldn’t even offer you
a proper goodbye.
Let me help you out-
when you take a walk down memory lane
stop romanticizing the past
and accept it for the lessons it brought.
Let me help you out-
when you think of the love
don’t forget to remember
the pain of loss.
