Forget You (lyrical poem)

April 20

There's a rancid aftertaste in my mouth
Whenever I say your name
To think it was sweet to me once is insane
I think how little I valued myself to
Be pulled by your strings
And let you convince me of things
I didn't want to do
All-cause once upon a time I liked you
That was long ago
And I know not a day goes by you don't think of me
But I don't remember your face anymore
I don't know what I saw
I don't have a loving feeling
Or think he was such a nice guy
Or oh how we used to have a good time
I don't think of you the way you do me
Now it's ancient history but you're still stuck on our page
Cause you're forced to read
But me?
I'm protected by your need for privacy
You don't have the luxury to flex
I don't care about you or what you do
Who you do, or what's new
I'm happy
I learned how to walk away
From you
I learned to trust my intuition
From you
I learned to truly let go
From you
I learned to value myself
To find someone who values me more
I learned to not argue with someone who leave you feeling poor and robbed of promises you never kept
So I don't regret
I'm happy I left
I won't deny that maybe our time
Was a filler for the plot
A small town on a road trip to stop and get lost in
not a give it your all or your best shot
Type of thing
No...
It was just a passing thing
And our soul contract ended
But I feel like I ascended
I've grown and blossomed
I've lived and learned
I've gotten things that I've earned
And to me, that's a happy ending
But thank you for the lessons
I won't forget them
But pretty soon
I will forget you
