Love Poem: Better Self

Better Self

As I lie,
My heart yearns for time
Of my past life
When I was cruel and blind.

I loved myself less,
Clouded by inclination of being loved.
Aspiration of being wanted,
Feeling wanted!

I had sleepless nights,
Cried myself to sleep;
Frustrated that I wasn't enough,
That I'll never be enough!

You pierced my heart
With deliberated actions and barbaric words
I apologized, even though you were wrong.
You pieced again! Till the last drop left my veins.

Now I lie,
Heart at ease and mind at peace.
I needed to lose you to find me.
I evolved, loving me better than ever!
