Closure.

We began as nothing more than strangers.
then i reached out across the ocean to grab your hand.
We became friends. Became close, then closer.
Fell in love, broke two innocent hearts
to become lovers across the miles
only to end with my heart shattered
on the ground beneath your feet.
You became my anchor, but i lost myself,
forgot that anchors hold you down.
I learned so much from you, lessons that left a scar-
You taught me to be wary, cautious,
to doubt myself in all i do.
You taught me to shut down, to push everyone away,
to hide away from things i once loved.
You taught me to be afraid,
and to shy away from becoming attached.
Because of you, i lost all faith in "forever."
You ripped me, the girl you claimed to love,
into pieces so small, i forgot i existed.
But no more. Do you hear me? No more.
I am taking myself back.
Putting myself back together, piece by piece.
