I stopped hurting myself
when you stopped coming around,
and I think that I have enough
strength to make it through 
these trying times; these times
where even the person 
with the thickest skin 
has made it clear that there
is only so much one heart
can handle. If you wouldn’t 
have left, I don’t think I
would have ever been able to
keep going. Your absence
allowed my presence 
to keep lingering on.
