How do I not take it personally
When the one who knew me the deepest
Slashed me aside, acts as though every breath
Was wasted to the wind; every cry was
Followed by silence.
How do I maintain the confidence
If the one who helped build it then
Forgets the concrete blocks that
Created the foundation.
How do I remember my beauty
When the one who made me feel beautiful
Utters those words elsewhere,
Changed the meaning of what beauty truly is.
How do I understand the future
If the one who starred in my daydreams
Has disappeared, disregarded the script,
Left the scene without explanation.
How do I know comfort
If my home has become a victim
Of arson; intended flames that
Have lit my soul on fire by he I trusted.
How do I cope with continued loss,
Continued leaving,
Continued ignorance
Of all that I am.
For it is hard to maintain a high price tag
If all the competitors offer an easy bargain.
For it is hard to maintain a self-worth
If no one is to see me as the Lord sees I.
I am at a loss for words.
How do I...how do I...how do I…
I don’t know how to
Move on.
Lost, created by MME.
