The Break Up or What Never Really Was

He said

Just because you can

doesn’t mean you should

leave

She said

Any place that destroys me

destroys my soul, I don’t belong

He said

Sometimes it’s best to stay

Sometimes you have to hold on

a little longer

She said

Hope doesn’t heal a soul

that’s been destroyed. That’s why

I never would’ve destroyed you.

Not even a little bit

He said

I never tried to hurt you and

I most certainly didn’t want to destroy

you

She said

It happened too easily

He said

I want to stay and fight

She said

I don’t want an angry love

I need a love that’s soft

He said

Love is about sacrifice

She said

My greatest act of rebellion was learning

to love myself. I will not lose myself

fighting for a love that’s too hard for me

to handle

He said

Love isn’t easy

She said

It was easy for me

It’s always been easy for me

It’s loving the wrong people

that wasn’t easy

He said

Sometimes you have to fight for love

She said

I won’t fight you to love you

I’ll fight the landlord

the grocer

the butcher

the bill collector. Outsiders.

I’ll fight outsiders

But never you.

I’d never fight you.

Peace & Love,

Rosalind
