Moving On

By Vikash Anand S

For dropping my heart,

I thank you…

for breaking my trust,

I thank you.

What seemed to be betrayal,

turned out to be a reality check I needed.

For the sugar-coated poison that you were,

I thank you.

For what seemed my ‘would be forever’

turned out to be my crippled sense’s vision.

For every time you cared a little,

a brick of hope I placed inside me.

Every time you said you loved me,

I got myself to believe that you were the one.

Though deep within,

I knew something wasn’t right

for

every second I was with you,

I felt like I was losing a part of me

for

every minute I loved you,

I felt weak

for

every time I put you first,

I was throwing myself at the wolves

for

every time I asked,

I was asking for the love you never had.

As I move on,

with immense gratitude,

for dropping my heart,

I thank you.

For breaking my trust,

I thank you.

For cutting me off this trauma bond

that I could have never found

the strength to break off,

I thank you!
