I Am Here

Because I love you

The sun rose every morning for me

The bad days became good

The little laughs we shared would change my life

 

When we were together my heart fluttered

When we were together it felt like home

When we were together it was right

 

I saw

Excitement about life

Smalls smirks

Light heartedness

When I looked in the mirror every night

 

Because I  Love You

I will not see the bad in everything you did

I will not feel like this is your fault

I will not bash on your name

 

You said it was

“Because I Love You”

But, now all I see is

A Broken Girl

A tear streaked face

A smile gone

A girl who no longer loves herself

Because I thought I loved you

 

I am here

in this deep state of mind

lost and confused

feeling unloved and unwanted

I am here

All because I thought I loved you

 

But

I do not stay down

I am strong

And beautiful

And amazing

And unique

And everything that I need to be

To be me

I am here

And

I am staying
