Inner Thoughts

To set my heart free

And they said, I was delusional.
I beg to disagree until the reality hits me.
I came face to face with the pettiest version I could be
This delusion that I have created.

For myself, believing in a love-
that was never meant to be fated.
I thought he was the one.
My heart felt so sure.

But now I'm left with just memories
And a love that's no longer pure.
I don't know how to unlove him.
To erase him from my mind.
For every time I try,
My heart just seems to rewind.

He was like a drug to me-
Addictive and intoxicating.
But now the high has worn off
And the truth is devastating.

I thought I knew what true love was,
But maybe I was wrong.
Because if it's true love,
Why does it hurt for so long?

They say "if you love someone, let them go"
But how do I let go of something-
that I thought was my everything?
And now, it's just a painful sting.

I wish I could turn back time
And never fall for his spell
But then I wouldn't have known
What it feels like to love so well.

But now I must find a way
To escape this heartache
And move on from a love
That was never really true.

So I'll take one step at a time.
And learn to love myself again.
Because true love starts within
Not with someone else's sin

And maybe one day
I'll look back and see
That this heartache was just a lesson

To set my heart free.
