Why beat yourself up because you had the courage to love
You gave all your hopes that they were the one
Why beat yourself when you loved, supported, and comforted them
It was their choice to be perfidious
and their choice to abandon your heart
Why beat yourself up
Knowing you did everything you could
loving them more than you loved yourself
Why beat yourself up
by accepting all the lies and deceit
And begging them to love you
Why after the repeat of deceit and trust being lost
That they deserve a love as pure as yours?
Why do you choose to search for answers to what caused them to break your heart
knowing they won’t find ways to mend it back together
Why beat yourself up
And blame yourself for their selfish choices
Never thinking of you without a conscience in their presence
Why question every detail of who you are to make yourself think you aren’t worthy of love
Why beat yourself
All you did was have the courage to love
love someone whole heartedly without a second thought
STOP
beating yourself up and
allow time to heal your pain
It’ll eventually subside as you learn to walk away
Nothing has changed you just added to your experiences of love
you’ll then once believe to have determination with another
But always remember you cannot truly love someone until you truly love yourself
