To the one that promised he would never leave… Until you, I never knew I could feel pain so immensely. It radiates through my body, a painful reminder that although I feel dead I’m still very much so alive. Sometimes, pain is all that lets you know you’re alive. Demanding to be felt, ripping through your already damaged body. I lost part of myself the day you left, the last part of myself that I loved. Your words still echo in my ear. Oh, how I long to hear those words again. Even the familiar I love you so much baby or the daily good morning beautiful… instead the cold words you now say rip me apart and leave my heart bleeding. We are over is my demise. You don’t realize that you stick the blade in a little further each time you utter those three words. You might think this book is for you, it’s not. This book is for those who have felt true loves burn and rose from the ashes. This book is for those who need help picking themselves back up. Most importantly this book is for me. This is my journey to healing and becoming the best version
