The memory of him

He walks with me everyday
Not as a shadow but as a entity
He tries to bring me down so I can remember the hurt that I let go
Some days he doesn't get to me
Others he gets me so bad that I walk around in a zombie like state
He manipulates when I'm vulnerable
Although he's done only bad things to me...I stay
I stay for the comforting nights
I stay for the warm embraces
I stay for the feeling of love
I stay for many reasons
He's been apart of me for so long
I wouldn't have ever thought that I would let him go
I am now free because I don't hold onto that memory
I am free because I have found someone who loves me
And that person is me
I am free...because I've learned that the memory that is he, is no longer gonna control me
