Learning Time

You told me I needed to learn to love myself,  but then broke me until I forgot what love was.

Maybe that's why I'm so numb these days. When you left, you took all I gave you. Every memory, every tear, every laugh, every embrace. Maybe that's why I can't cry anymore. You took my will to feel anything away from me, forcing me to forget every single moment we had together.

You said I needed to love myself, maybe to prepare my heart  for when you would stop loving me.

Maybe you really were looking out for my best interest when you left me in the cold.

You forced me to love myself so you wouldn't have to.
