It's not wrong to lose you

It's sad,
Losing someone you were close to...
And not the dying loss.
The kind of loss where the person looks the same,
And talks the same,
But you know that somehow,
The person you thought you knew just isn't there.

I think that kind of loss is worse than death.
Because when someone dies, at least you knew them until that moment.
The person you thought you loved can do everything to you.
They lie to you,
Steal from you,
Hurt you,
Cheat on you,
Talk about you...
In ways that you really never imagined that they could.

And still,
You accept it because you love him.
But it's hurting you, so you just
stop...
And it really is sad, just losing that person.

But I know I can be ok...and I will be
But right now,
The tears that stain this page,
They are my sadness and my truth
And it's necessary...
but I will be ok.

I thought you were him, but you're not.

The love of my life will ask me to sing for him.

I praised you for your talents and passions,
While you neglected or critiqued mine.
My beauty goes beyond my body.
My body is beautiful, but it still felt like I wasn't enough.

Because you didn't love the essence of my soul.
