OverTime

It’s amazing what comes to mind after the love wears off
It’s heartbreaking to think of the times when you got off
When you walked to the door and never looked back
When you opened it to the light and left the dark behind
Over time I think it was never that dramatic
Over time I started to remember what you were
Over time I knew we would never last
Over time I saw that you were never in love

My mind hid the shadows you left behind
All I could see was the great light I had lost
The times I was not perfect
The times I deserved my fate
Over time I know I wasn’t that bad
Over time I know you were not all I had
Over time you were never the angel that left my life
Over time you were the jailor that set me free

My mind opens after the healing
It tells me the hurting words that were said daily
It remembers that you never wanted me, only comfort
It whispers the truth of the story
It tells me I was better before I met you
It reminds me that I will be better after you left me
Over time I worked over time to get over you.
Over time I realised that I was over time and I just woke up…..healed.
