Loving you was like
 Being addicted to 
The sweetest tasting poison. 
I loved the way you killed me.
 Leaving you was like
 Being weaned off my favorite blanket, 
With all of its rips and tears.
 It no longer served its purpose. 
Resenting you was like 
Putting ice cubes
 In a *** of boiling water.
 The burn was less severe. 
Letting go of you
 Is walking across thin ice 
Trying not to fall into a pool of my own thoughts; Before I make it to higher ground Where my heart Resides safely.
