I did try to walk away with grace.
I tried to walk away with dignity,
with pride.
even with tears streaming out of
my eyes and onto my lips,
I tried so hard to choose grace.
because grace never seemed
to be given to a woman like me.
to a woman who put
herself back together with the thread
of her past self
as her hands bled from the needle.
to a woman with such a fire
that she has her own
burn marks that she
can't seem to heal.
self inflicted pain
in the name of love
is still self-harm.
and a woman with a track record
like mine knows the ends and outs
of her self inflicted pain.
it seemed to only get worse
the more you loved me.
so forgive me if grace was forgotten.
it's not like she and I were close anyways.
