She Was The Storm

by Cherie Avritt

i was so focused on the idea of getting you to love me that i didn’t notice i was better off without you

i am tired of giving my everything to someone who doesn't notice my efforts

inconsistency is the first sign that someone only cares about you when it’s convenient for them

never give up you have come too far and fought too hard to give up now

he may have broken you but your love for yourself can heal you

never be afraid to cut toxic people out of your life for the sake of your own happiness

never forget that you are good enough.

do not resent yourself for how slowly you are healing it takes time and you need to remember that.

you can’t convince people to give you the love you deserve

you will make it through this just like you’ve made it through everything else that has come before

never forget your own value.

how are you supposed to follow your heart when it is broken and bleeding?

i cannot just forgive you for what you did to me i don’t hate you but i can’t just pretend you never broke me

is this what love is supposed to feel like or am i just desperately trying to justify the way you treat me because i’m too afraid to let go
