Hearing your name,

It used to brighten my day.

Seeing your face,

Made me feel a warm embrace.

But things have changed,

And it's no longer you I crave.

You really thought,

That you would break me down.

Never did you expect,

For me to rise with a booming sound.

Now you're mad,

Walking around with a frown,

Looking at your mistakes,

Realizing what's really holding you down.

It's not the stress of the bills,

It's not the stress of work,

It's realizing what you let go of,

And you don't have the access to lurk.

You want to see what I'm doing,

You want to see who I'm with,

But that's none of your concern,

The consequence of your choices.

Now when i hear your name,

I have no reaction.

Seeing your face,

Isn't even a distraction.

You aren't a thought anymore,

Just another lesson learned.

You received something from me,

Something you never really earned.
