Dancing in darkness and solitude

I was so torn up inside, fighting with me

Unable to sleep

Crushed by the weight of your indifference

My mind was suffocating me

Unable to escape, unable to flee

All the memories crashing in like a flood

A waterfall of us, cascading down

Down

Down 

Down,

So far down till it shatters below

And finally in the wreckage of us 

I could breathe again

I could see again

I was free to finally be ME again.

I thank you for the dissidence,

For finally allowing me to see 

What it means to be me,

And the love that I seek.

For your callous disregard

And the shallow version of what

A misguided heart is capable of 

All in the name of commitment and love.
