I'm new but still broken <br />Silent but still heard <br />He told me he's going away, forever, to a place where nothing could find him <br />I told him he could run away all he wanted, but it would eventually find him regardless <br />He laughed and asked me to look after the parrot he bought me once, for an anniversary or some stupid socially acceptable reason or date <br />A card would have done <br />I want to ask if she's going with him, but I already know the answer <br />And I am at peace <br />At peace with all the times, he called me a bitch or a whore, at peace with all the times he made me cry, at peace with all the bruises and split lips, at peace with how much I loved him. <br />I hope that he finds what he's looking for, I doubt it though, his demons are far too deep, my love (once upon a time) couldn't even suppress those demons <br />I said I'd take Cyrus, why does it feel like a divorce? It's gone, over, finished. I am over being over, I just want some time, all I need is time. I hope he finds what he's looking for, for him to hear the truth and see the reality, his reality but most of all I hope he finds his peace.<br /><br />Carolyn Vuletic<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/content-acceptance/
