Hindsight's Perspective
Folder:
Lessons Learned It just all became crystal clear
But closure comes with a price:
The tears that fall into my hands.
But now the emotions which are
Consuming me are not volatile,
But from a peace that is slowly
Wiping away my past uncertainty.
So I sift through the memories to
Find what went wrong to avoid
Those same mistakes in the future.
And what I have now discovered is
That despite all the blame you’ve
Laid upon me, the root cause is
And always will be yours to bear.
The truth is the one person which
Indirectly persuaded to be with you
Was the same person I had to fight
Against with all my will and power.
And, yes, you saved me just in time
When the wounds were most ripe
And in need of your loving touch.
But it wasn’t enough, I didn’t trust
That you wouldn’t do what he did
Because of your similarities to him.
I mostly believed you would see me
Exactly like what he painted me to be.
What irony when I give in to his label
And consequently throw away my dignity.
But I don’t regret anything I’ve done
Because, it closed this chapter quite
Unexpectedly, I must admit, but it was
Very much needed, now looking back.
What is most ironic is the realization
That what once brought us together
Ended up being what tore us apart.
