The Break Up or What Never Really Was

He said

Just because you can
doesn’t mean you should
leave

She said

Any place that destroys me
destroys my soul, I don’t belong

He said

Sometimes it’s best to stay
Sometimes you have to hold on
a little longer

She said

Hope doesn’t heal a soul
that’s been destroyed. That’s why
I never would’ve destroyed you.
Not even a little bit

He said

I never tried to hurt you and
I most certainly didn’t want to destroy
you

She said

It happened too easily

He said

I want to stay and fight

She said

I don’t want an angry love
I need a love that’s soft

He said

Love is about sacrifice

She said

My greatest act of rebellion was learning
to love myself. I will not lose myself
fighting for a love that’s too hard for me
to handle

He said

Love isn’t easy

She said

It was easy for me
It’s always been easy for me
It’s loving the wrong people
that wasn’t easy

He said

Sometimes you have to fight for love

She said

I won’t fight you to love you
I’ll fight the landlord
the grocer
the butcher
the bill collector. Outsiders.
I’ll fight outsiders
But never you.
I’d never fight you.

Peace & Love,
Rosalind
