She broke me. In the worst way possible.

She took everything

Maybe even more

The thoughts of sorrow that invade my mind

Touch the souls of my dreams

I've immersed myself in the idea

That someday, maybe I can be more

More than who she left

And more than I was before

The depths of the sea that I've sunk into

So far and so deep

Evoke memories of our experiences

Now there is only fear But not painless fear; fear that can be used against me

She left me with nothing

And I had to build that wall again

Blocking me from the outcomes

That could have been, would have been, and should have been

That connection is something I long for

Acceptance of reality is something I've grown accustomed to

But the conviction of her voice

That's what made me know

I will never truly be anyone's
