It Wasn’t Easy To Be Happy For You

Some days I still resent 
How you handled us.
And if I can even say
There was anything that would define
You and I.
I’m falling 
A
  P
    A
       R
          T
While she keeps you
Together.
I prayed so many nights
For the answer. For

Your answer.
Every silent second that 
Passed since two February’s ago
Has unraveled me in every way possible.
Madness.
Floating down the river
The embodiment of Ophelia.
The flames of contemplation 
Lick my skin and burn
My fingers when I reach to
Make sense of something so
Beautiful yet so harsh and
So painful.
If I’m just a candle
I’ll 
Melt and melt until one day
There’s nothing left but small

Fragments of what 
I once was.
You won’t be able to
Bring me back.
You’ll ask someone, one day

What happened to me.
And they’ll tell you:
“It wasn’t easy for her. To be happy for you.”
