never again the second best
Once again, the second best;
I loved you more than could be
contained within my chest,
but you chose him, over and over,
even when it was proven
that he was a monster.

I feel sorry for you, I really do,
but I know now
that I am ready for something new,

I deserve to be loved fully and completely;
without stipulations and secrecy—

I will always love you,
but now I am choosing myself,
over being broken and bruised.
