There is nothing like the revelation of change

What are some words you would use to describe me?
Passionate
Insightful
Poetic
They are just words barely visible through the blinking of tears from my eyes
And feelings forgotten in my body when your hands first left my skin
Just answers to a pointless question for a pointless course that meant everything to me once
Memories of who I use to be to you
What is your favourite quality that you appreciate about me?
Honesty
I can scroll down the window and watch us pass by me like death
Everything we were
Everything we are
Everything we could have ever been
Hidden between the lines of my words and yours
If you were to relate me to an animal, what animal would I be and why?
A mother bear. You are fiercely loyal and protective. If you run into a mother bear in the woods alone, she is timid and will run, but if her cubs are there, you’d better run.
How you saw me perfectly
Clearly
Despite all the illusions I had painted about myself
What would you like me to do more of?
Being yourself, letting your past go
All the stones I carried
Threw at you
The ones that shattered your walls
Bruised your ego
All the chances we never took
All the things we left unsaid
Us
In a single moment of vulnerability
Captured by a word document and fingers which spent too much time typing
And not enough loving
Passionate,
My inevitable downfall
Too intense always feeling everything, diving in head strong and foolish
Loving you for who you really were
Insightful,
My blessed curse
Too smart to go back to believing the best after you became the worst
Wise enough to know better than ‘he can change’
Poetic,
My lot in life
Gifted with the ability to cut souls like skin under a scalpel
Too busy penning to the truth to help your lies heal
Honesty,
My best attribute
The reason I am blinking tears from my eyes in the darkness
Alone in a bed we once shared
A mother bear
Pulling your skin from her claws
Realising with every piece that comes lose
That she doesn’t love you anymore
Being myself
Knowing that you will never know how much that hurts
Letting my past go
