You are enough.
Always were enough,
Still are enough,
More…
I- wasn’t.
My heart rested,
On shaky foundations,
I counted on you-
To hold me together,
My glue.
When you stepped away,
I crumbled, spiraling down,
A void left within me-
So I attempted to fill it,
With anything else.
Mistakes.
Alcohol.
Bad decisions.
Nothing filled the hole.
You can’t fit a puzzle piece,
That wasn’t meant to be there.
You are partial to blame,
But majority falls on-
My selfish insecurities,
How could I love you,
When I could not love myself?
I traveled to rock bottom,
First class ticket,
With a one way stop,
that blade against my wrist,
But I had a layover.
I canceled my flight.
I’m rebuilding now.
My heart and mind,
Undergoing renovations-
Building a foundation,
Worthy of holding your heart.

Undergoing renovations. Make sure you go it first for yourself ?
That’s the plan. Build myself into someone I’m able to love. Everything else falls into place after that.
Perfect. I invite you to read how badly I handled something similar ?

Well I will say that you're likely a very wonderful person and I hope you learn to love yourself.
