You walked right past me

10 years to strangers

By Angelina Raisa Voronainsky-Shigrov Published 4 months ago 1 min read
Your lies

Kind of a poem;

“You walked right past me

We’re strangers now

You once wrote me a poem, how the sun loved the air

Now I walk right past you

I thought you were the sun

Because I am the air

You’re actually just dust

settling in an old empty chair

Your old and musty habits

10 years of nothingness

You’re not even behind me

You don’t even exist

You never did

Because dust does not settle

Well not for long

No permanent structure

You were weak

While I had to be strong”

Cathartic ramblings of conquering consciousness; Screaming out to the abyss as though I am on the top of a mountain ⛰️

“I will no longer break promises to myself for others to take precedence”

I am mine before anyone else’s.

I will no longer be used and dumped when I no longer appease the desires you couldn’t reach on your own. Your self deprecation was there before I was.

You left me at my worst with a noose around my neck and you tugged at it waiting for me to break. I would never have done that to anyone.

You promised if it would end it would end kindly but you did your worst.

You carry failure and blame it on partners. I won’t carry your weight anymore.

‘Wordssss’

All your wordsss were lies. If they weren’t you would have made sure I believed otherwise.
