@-->----
You're not a challenge to me anymore
You have nothing I want or need,
I've been there and you sucked the life out of me
Like a scraggily, wilted weed,
Struggling and fighting for that flood
To come and saturate its roots,
But it never comes before getting trampled all over
By those thick treaded boots,
But I'm better now without you,
I'm more like a beautiful flower,
And you can't take that beauty from me
Cause this time I have more power,
I have goals and aspirations
So I can steal back my sunlight,
And maybe when things change
Then I'll do what's right,
I'll take all your imperfections, your flaws
Your weaknesses and your carbon monoxide,
And exchange them with you someday for the good, the oxygen,
So later when you say I helped you through, I can at least say I tried.
Reason for writing:
Men that always come back begging but have no chance and I
try not to be cruel as they once were.
Birth sign: Virgo
