ScarletRoses in Poetry & Free Verse

Finally free

I want to go back

in time

to that day we met,

to all the laughs and smiles

you brought me.

Little did I know

how I would grieve

to repay you in return.

I gave you my all

I tried to save you from

your fire,

But what did I get in return?

False promises, lies that

you would change.

You’re happy now

leaving me broken,

it’s funny how you don’t

give a damn

when I was the one

who was there for you

in your darkest of days.

You use and push away

those that loved you,

I loved you.

Tears, bruises, hurt;

I thought I could trust you.

Your toxicity leeched into

my heart leaving many

marks that I can’t

seem to forget.

How do you manage

to live with yourself

knowing

That to find your happiness

you robbed somebody else

of theirs.

I’ve forgiven you

but now it’s time that I

Forgive myself

for I paint the blame

on my hands.

I want to go back in time

but I have learnt

that some

can never be saved

That I am worth much more

than just a puppet to the facade

you lead.

I am my own,

Finally free.
