Sisters of Grace

Poem: ShilohRose77
I knew you weren’t the one, when you couldn’t hear my silence.
The deafening sound of defeat, invaded my being and I lost myself.
The shell of who I once was, but you didn’t notice because she was enough for you.
You love flowers that have fallen from their throne, you bought just the place.
The glass house for the flower to bloom, but also to wilt.
I knew you weren’t the one when my smile began to dim.
My heart beat changed and my breath shortened, a new battle within.
I’m fighting my own instincts, telling myself it will get better.
I deny the pain because you said it was in my head.
I knew you weren’t the one when I could no longer trust myself.
As I fight to recover and renew, I realize it wasn’t me, it’s you.
After all these years, I knew you weren’t the one, now I chose me.
I’m blooming and growing stronger each day, awakening to the possibilities of love without fear.
I knew you weren’t the one because she is me and I am here.
