The bitch in her sees the cunt in you.
She knows you better than you know yourself.
She sees through you; she sees the real you.
She knows you gave up on life long before it gave up on you.
She knows life has shattered all your hopes and dreams.
She knows now you are a lost cause, damaged beyond repair.
She knows all the smoking and drinking is hopeless. But it is the only thing you think will set you free.
And God knows you will hold on to anything that can set you free.
She knows it is the only peace you have ever found.
She does not know how to hate you; God knows she tried.
She does not know how to leave or how to stay.
She refused to run away, but you have been too mean for far too long.
She wears the brunt of your pain, the scars of the double-edged sword of love.
She did the best she could with everything she had, but no one is perfect.
She has been trapped in the past for too long, burdened with blame.
You did not lose her cause you never knew her.
She has always been an enigma to you, a stranger.
Her heart was so conflicted, but then you all made it oh so clear.
She was cast aside by the ones she loved, left begging to survive.
You kicked her every time she was down. No offer of help, or even the smallest act of kindness, unless there was something in it for you or it made you look good.
But she knows it is not like you to say sorry, to admit even an ounce of responsibility.
Then you ask why she no longer misses you, why she no longer needs you.
She decided if she could not count on you, she would not count you in.
She learned not to depend on you years ago, she knew you would not be there.
She knew she did not need you.
She never dreamed home would end up somewhere she no longer belonged.
She knows you meant her no harm.
She knows you find strength in your hours of darkness, moments of weakness.
She has felt the pain no human should ever endure, begged God to die just for it to end.
She has been so broken inside she did not know if she would ever see the light.
She has felt her heart bleed from a loss so deep she never thought it would heal.
But it is time to face it, you would not allow her to change, never allow her to grow.
She has dealt with all her ghosts, looked her demons right in the eye.
She now knows her truth.
She is finally content with a past she cannot change.
For once she is at peace with herself.
You did not break her, she did not lose her dreams, the courage of her convictions.
She knows who she is, and no one is ever gonna change that.
She is finally able to breathe, live life on her terms.
Terms you never understood.
She now knows her worth, and it is too high a price for you to pay.
She knows it is too late now, there is no going back, it has been building up for years.
It does not matter where you are, it does not matter what you say or do, she will always love you.
For her, her love is unconditional, you were forgiven before you hurt her.
But she will no longer sit at a table where her loyalty and love is taken for granted or she feels unappreciated and unheard.
This time, there is no next time, no, there is no next time, there is no comin back; she is moving on.
She knows it is time to go, she has no energy, too tired to fight, she is done cryin'.
She is moving on to a life that has been patiently waiting for her.
She hopes you are happy, sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose.
She prays when you lay down at night, you sleep all right.
Real love knows when to say goodbye.....
