The Way You Peer Into My Soul

Time heals they say. Nature
Heals, too. I like the look and feel of the
Earth beneath my feet. I feel 

Weightless
And heavy at the same time.
You made it hard to breathe.

You made it hard to think
Of anything other than you. You crawled
Underneath my skin and wore it

Paper thin. But you can't see from my
Eyes or you'd seen how you hurt me. You'd feel
Every ounce of pain, but you won't
Ruin me. 

I am
No yours
To ruin. I'm mine. All mine. I
Open my eyes to

My own world. A world without
You in it. A world I couldn't

See before because I
Only had eyes for you. I've had to
Unglue myself and
Lift myself back up.
