“My Once Special Person, is a piece that addresses old hurt, and why it took so long to really heal and deal, with that hurt that came from loving someone, who you gave special bits of yourself to. It looks at some of the causes of the anger that remained, and the hurt that was caused, because we attempted to love, and love deeply. It’s a piece about finding some grace, after letting go of someone who was once your special person, and to whom you gave so much of yourself to, and once was in love with; with your entire being.”

My Once Special Person

It took days, weeks and months,
To get over you;
You broke me in places and depths,
That only you could;
And, this came from my attempt at loving you,
And giving bits of myself to you;

It took me months and a year,
To finally address all the hurt that you left me with;
This hurt carried itself with me,
And left deep rooted scars,
That only the woman who came after you,
Really began to heal;

And what hurt me the most after you;
Was your betrayal;
And I avoided writing about you…
