Survivor!

Recalling all the memories
of all the days gone by
reflecting on the "used-to-be's"
and all the tears I cried.

I remember broken promises
made on the day we wed
emptiness and solitude
is what I received instead.

The golden bands we both shared
that meant 'til death do we part
tarnished with your love for me
and with it, broke my heart.

The self I used to know
the one I used to be
was swept away when you left
and no longer lived in me.

But somehow a stronger person
survived through all the pain
and all the woundedness is gone
Yes, I am back again!
