The Goddess is here

In both darkness and in light

by beth

You think that you know me.

Believing I would never leave.

Every time you put aside,

I waited for you to come back to me.

You thinkI am not strong enough.

Not confident enough.

That I love you so much I cannot let go.

You are wrong.

I have the strength.

I am confident in who I am.

And although I still love you,

I have grown to love myself more.

So this time I will not be waiting.

I know there is more out there.

Words can be so weak

They fail as you try to explain your loneliness and pain

Wanting to cry out for help

But they turn to dust in your mouth

Throat constricting

Tears filling your eyes

You look down and utter “I’m okay”

Maybe tomorrow the words will come.

by beth

No more deception

No more excuses

No more “white lies”

People and situations change,

sometimes you have to let go of what you hoped for.

It is not that you failed,

it is allowing yourself to move forward.

Hold onto yourself.

Believe in yourself.

You deserve happiness,

so you will find it.

Search for who or what makes you feel special,

and do not except anything less.

I thought I had lost when you chose her,

I was wrong.

“Losing” implies I missed out on something valuable.

I have not.

I thought life without you would destroy me.

I did not.

Living without the lies and manipulations, is the prize.

by beth

Keep lying to me

I will never believe you,
