Whiskey Words & a Shovel II

harsh reality.
it hurts to watch the person you
love
become everything you should
avoid
it’s difficult to watch the person you love
treat you as if they hate you
and even though it hurts like
hell
you continue to hold on to who
they were
instead of accepting what
they’ve become

ex is short
for exit
this is what I’ve come
to realize
stop leaving the door
open
for someone
who no longer
deserves a key

you were a nightmare
wrapped in something beautiful

sometimes your soul mate
is yourself
and everything
you’ve been searching for
can be found
deep within your own soul
a time of love.

not everyone you love
will stay

one day someone will look at
you with magic in their eyes
because that’s what you are

thank you for seeing
the stars within my soul
when all I saw was pain

I set out in search of love and
what I often found was chaos
and destruction

you kill your future
by mourning the past

release.
sometimes crying means
letting go
sometimes the only way
to empty yourself of a person
is to shed tears
