What Comes From Within

The hardest part
about leaving you
isn’t that you broke my heart
time
and time again.
It’s that you
consistently
chose yourself
day
after day
when all I ever did
was choose you.
You had so much potential,
and what really killed me
was seeing you squander
your talents,
only to bemoan
how terrible your life was.
You were far too selfish
to be in a relationship
with anyone but yourself
and now,
that is all you will ever have.
The sad thing
is that you have never learned
to let that be enough.
