i am bitter


sour even


it does not
bring me joy
to think of you
anymore

you're just
a stamp
in my passport

an eternal damnation
to a part of hell
i settled into
for god knows
what stupid
fucked up
reason

maybe
i felt
i deserved it
your love
was form of
punishment
for my wrong doings
my naiveness
my yellow-streak
my pride
all for what?

the ice-cold truth is
the heartbreak
changed me


for the better?
i'd like to think so


gaze up at where i am
this is where i ended up
the views are magnificent
up here
i
no longer ensnared
in your cage

maybe that's what i deserved
then
but now
i've been redeemed

to be better
i can do better
than you
us
and all the dimensions
we'll cross paths in
