The Blood & The Bones

It’s funny how the further from the heartbreak and hurt, the more you see all the things you missed.

All the times my gut told me you were up to no good and you layered lie upon lie and made me think the weight and the wrong I felt was my own insecurity.

It took me entirely too long to figure out that I can still love you and I can still miss you but I don’t ever want to feel again the way you made me feel with your self serving behavior. And I will always wish that the man that insisted on touching me as we slept.. that made me coffee and covered me in kisses in the morning.. the one that told me once never to give up on us was the man that fought the inner battle and won.

But you choose to lose. Yes, you play to lose every single time. It’s ok, they’ll just deal you a new hand so you can keep discarding your aces looking for jokers.

I am thankful I was forced to fold my hand before it was too late.
