I mistakenly missed a day of NaPoWriMo so I dipped back into the vault for this. A good, short, heartfelt one.
___
BLED
You'll never know what you lost,
and that's more than okay.
It's better that way.
You don't need more pain
and I don't need to bathe
in the bittersweet memories
that are all I have left.
I don't need to live
in a space of regret
because I know without question
that I did what I needed to do.
I opened my wounds.
I spoke my truth.
I bled all over you.
