I’ve tried

so hard to not let your words get to me

but the harshness of each of your words is slamming into me

breaking the wall that protected me for so long.

It used to be you and me against the world and now it’s just me

fighting to keep the balance in my world.

I didn’t think about my future and now as I live in the present

I realize there are things in my future that will be different and I have

to accept this change that is now apart of my life.

There is no going back now and I don’t know if I would at this point for

what is done is done.
