The Truth Poem by LOVEMO QUEEN

No special rhyme or rhythm
Just blunt honest truth
The time that has passed
Has been something that is tear worthy
Not because life is some sorrowful journey
Nor because the pain is just too much to bare
But rather because the absence of you keeps me longing
I am a happy girl
Not a fake happiness that others claim to be
I am full of joy because of the difficulties I have surpassed
But I have gotten passed my demons
Due to the strength you have given me
It was a long time ago
A very long time ago, long enough that I should have forgotten
But I never forgot
And that very long time ago, you built up a very weak girl
A girl that knew no better
You left a half broken girl though
Who has blossomed into a beautiful woman
A woman who has accomplished many great things
College, volunteer, pride, confidence, charity
Just to name a few
But this great woman is not quite whole
I do not need you
If you have taught me anything, it is that
Over these past four years it is a lesson I have learned to hate
But a lesson that I needed to know
But nonetheless, it is true
You own a part of me
It was payment for everything that you did for me
It was the exchange for saving my life
With you, a piece of my soul rests
I am not asking for it back
For that would be a very unfair trade
Nor am I asking for you back
Because I am done being naïve
But just take care of my soul
It sounds like a juvenile thing to say, maybe
But I believe that it some way I believe you never really left
You somehow kept looking after me
Making sure my mistakes were never too severe
So just stay by my side in that mysterious way
And forever I shall live a happy incomplete life
