Love Poem: You Think You Broke My Heart

You Think You Broke My Heart

You think you broke my heart

When you said goodbye

You did me a favor

Breaking my heart liberated me to see

That love is not a jail

To which we are sentenced

That real love never wants to hold prisoners

That it sets us free to come and go as we please

That day you nailed my soul to an imaginary wall

The day you told me that I was not the right woman for you

Was the day you set me free

You see there is nothing as horrible as faked affection

Faked affection is worse than abuse

I love you for it

My heart was truer than the ground was moist

And you lost that true heart

And I thought I was the loser

But I won back my soul

And learned that letting go.. even if it kills me, is better than hanging onto a lie

You set me free

My love never left you

But please don’t talk to me to save your feelings

Love me enough to let me suffer

Love me enough to hurt me and let me go baby.
