I realised the other day
I love me
More than I love you
It came as such a shock
Because I didn’t think I could
Live without you
I spent most of my time
Looking at ways to please you
Tease you
Put you at ease when you
Became stressed
That I totally forgot about me
But this began to change when
Time revealed you didn’t feel the same about me
Tears began to flow down my cheeks
And exploded into a cascade
And just like the ugly duckling
I saw in its reflection
Beauty
Could it possibly be me?
As I stood Gazing intensely
The figure looked right back
With self assurance
Warmth
And eyes full of purpose
Beckoning me to draw closer
As I did
I could hear these words whispered
You’re much stronger
Than you think you are
Its now time for you to leave!
