I was no longer the boy you could bend.</p><p><br/></p><p>I told you what it cost me.</p><p>The months of quiet dissection,</p><p>The nights I pried myself open</p><p>Trying to understand why.</p><p><br/></p><p>You listened.</p><p>Or pretended to.</p><p>It didn’t matter.</p><p>I spoke anyway.</p><p><br/></p><p>When I left,</p><p>I felt lighter, like the weight was suddenly gone.</p><p>Not happy.</p><p>Not whole.</p><p>But free enough.</p><p><br/></p><p>And yes my heart has an owner now, I'm sure she wouldn't agree with my methods of closing and suffocating my especially mucky past</p><p>But I needed it......</p><p><br/></p><p>I needed to meet the version of me</p><p>You once knew</p><p>And leave him there,</p><p>Bury him there ..along with our memories, at that hall…....
