An Open Letter to Him

I don't know if what I felt for you

could ever be called

'Love'.

I don't think I ever truly

'Loved' you-

you were just the space to fill

the void I had made for myself. 

And it worked for a while. 

But, when you left me, claiming that

you never 'Loved' me,

I realized that

you were just as bad for me

as I was for you.

I tried to convince myself that what I did,

I did for the 'Love' I felt for you-

I wish you could say the same.

But, now I know

that you were just a distraction

from the inevitable numbness I find myself in.

You taught me

how I shouldn't be treated,

And now I know

how to love myself-

and how to never 

'Love' you again.
