A Better Place

A Better Place

A poem by Sydney Stone. I do not own the image.

***

I thought I could trust you,

But that was a lie,

You said you would support me,

Despite my darker side,

But now you have slammed-

That door in my face,

Told me your true thoughts,

That our love was a waste,

And that a world without me,

Would be a much better place.

    What a horrible thing to say to someone. People can be cruel.

      Cruel, but not inaccurate. A long time passed, but the memory remains. Such is the malaise of the holidays no?

        “cruel, but not inaccurate”… there’s a profoundness and sense of real that I can’t quite explain in the way I interpret it…🤍

        and sorry for eavesdropping 😬lol…

    This poem carries such raw and intense emotion. The vulnerability in your words is both powerful and deeply relatable. The way you explore trust, love, and pain captures the complexities of relationships and the weight of feeling discarded.

    Thank you for sharing something so personal—it’s a reminder of the strength it takes to put emotions into words. I hope writing this brought you some release or clarity. You are valued, and your voice matters.

      Thank you for your kind words, it is an old wound admittedly, and yet one which smarts at the smallest of movements. In order for there to be growth, fractures must be formed, and mended. Whether in healing or steeling, thus are they tended.
