Broken no more Pieced together by time. Healed. Pain faded away Now I'm me again. But different-- stronger-- better than before. Because you broke me. But I survived. Destined to find someone else. Someone who isn't going to try to hurt me. Who just wants to love me. The way you didn't. Wouldn't. Couldn't. Thank you for leaving so I could become more than what I was. I have grown up Learned that just because the words are said, actions still speak louder. Yours were deafening. But now I hear again. Time passed, pain eased, scars healed. I became better.
