Oh, Sugar

 

[via]



you were so beautiful
in that summer sun
with the rose colored glasses
of young love.
so tempting and alluring
promising a future
of happiness that never ends
no loneliness or sadness
only happiness and bliss. 

i thought it would be forever
that we'd never have to part. 
but when i woke up 
i found out it wasn't true. 

instead of beauty, you gave me ashes
instead of love, you brought abuse
and embarrassment, 
self-hatred, 
regret and agony. 
when i decided to be honest 
with myself
about the broken promises
i found the pain 
that had been swept
under the rug. 
i found the lies 
you tried to hide. 

instead of sadness, i'm choosing anger. 
instead of being a victim, 
i'm the overcomer. 
and there won't be any more
of you in my life. 
because i'm choosing me. 
and i'm choosing truth.
