Freedom

I was afraid
I would never be able
To let you go.
 
But babe,
You are actually a baby.
And you,
Actually no longer deserve
Nor have the right to call
Me babe.
 
It took me a long time to realize that.
But that is because I actually respected
You.
 
But now,
You have made it so easy for me.
 
I finally have enough
Anger
To hate you rather than
Love you.
 
Power.
That is what I have been
Seeking all along.
 
I thought I still wanted you
And me.
 
But what I really wanted
Was respect.
 
Something you are not capable of.
Something you are too childish and
Lack the maturity to give to me.
 
So I saw you take a step in
The negative direction.
 
We WERE
On the same level.
The maturity,
The wants, values,
Desires, and needs;
They were all there.
 
And then I passed you,
And I left you in the dust.
And it seems if you have
Gone backwards.
 
I have realized,
I need to let you go.
You are not worth the
Wasted breath.
 
So to me,
This is a change.
This is a step in the positive
Direction.
This is my happy poem.
This is me,
Free.
 
My love is finally
Consumed by hate.
Leaving an adrenaline rush
That is kind of addicting.
Kind of euphoric.
 
I can be civil.
I can put on a smile
And I can bite my tongue.
But I do not need to respect
Someone who will not
Respect me in return.
 
I now see
I owe you nothing.
I get nothing from you,
And from me you will get
Nothing in return.
 
And now,
My friend no longer,
I can have freedom.
Bliss and freedom.
And I know,
Today is going
To be a good day.
