Let Me Start

Let me start by letting you know
Just how much time I invested
In you,
And in our relationship.
I cartwheeled down streets
Singing your praises,
Thinking I'd finally found someone I could trust.
I thought I'd found a friend,
Someone to share with
Who'd look after me
And love me unconditionally.
I thought I wouldn't be alone
Anymore.
More fool me.
You've taken everything I put into you
And sharpened it into a blade
To stab me with in the chest
Repeatedly
Twisting and turning and digging
Until I bleed out from my heart
Any love I ever had for you.
But
You know
Whatever.
In knowing you
I found someone
No
Two someone's
That can easily take your place.
You see
They understand me
And they get me
And they like me.
Better yet
They trust me.
In fact
Our three lives are more
Intertwined
Than ours ever were.
I love them more
Than I ever loved you.
I'm glad to have met you
Only
And just
For the simple fact
That you led me to them.
So let me finish by saying
Goodbye
And good riddance.
I'm better off without you
Anyway.
