Leaving you behind
Was the best thing
I could've done
My patience for you
Is something you won't find
Because you're poison
You're toxic
Want my heart?
It's in a cage
And I've locked it

How dare you tell me
That I would've been
Happier with you
And that the people
That love me are not genuine
Because they've done more for me
Than you ever could

Don't let your bitterness fool you
I am happy, I am content
You're just hurt
That my happiness
Doesn't involve you
So allow me to vent

I had forgiven you
Willing to put
Everything in the past
And start completely over
But you've learned nothing
You're the exact same person
That I rightfully left behind
You've had this coming

You want the old me back?
The me filled with darkness?
Well too bad, you can't have her
Because I'm taking care of her
There's no way I'm letting you harm us

You'll never get her or me back
We're done drinking your poison
We're done with your vile toxicity
I've finally learned
That I deserve better
I'm done with you
I mean that explicitly

A/N -

Well, this is the end of Meraki.

Thank you for all the love and support you have given my poems. All of your sweet comments inspired me to keep writing, and honestly, it was such a wonderful experience writing my most personal thoughts and feelings, and to see so many people that could relate to it. It really made me feel like I wasn't alone, and I only hope that it made you feel less alone too. If you'd like, I might start another poetry book, but for now, this is it. Thanks again, I love you all! 🖤
