Leave the bad things behind



Was running after you while you were thinking about someone else
Feeling sorry for myself
You didn’t care about what we had
I’m feeling incredibly shattered and mad
Like I’m about to explode
Not this time though
All I’m going to give you is a silent ton of thoughts
And all you will see me do is glow
Brighter than every star
Because all you gave my heart was a deep scar
All I did was try to be good
But look
All the things that went wrong were blamed on me
I’m glad you’re gone and I’m free

About this poem

This is one of my first poems so it isn't that good. It is based on a toxic relationship and was written by me. :)
