AWAKEN

I was once in love with you,
I was once hypnotized by your eyes,
I was once engrossed in your conversation,
I was once head over heels for you.

I was once attracted to your smile,
I was once challenged by the ambition,
I was once intrigued by your confidence,
I was once infatuated by your style.

I was once caught up in your spell,
I was once encapsulated in your embrace,
I was once blinded by your actions,
I was once confused by your personality.

Just one slip and the script changed.

You are now an enemy to me,
You are now a deceitful character to my eyes,
You are now the reason for this void,
You are now nothing but a chapter in my past.

You are now the reason I can't stop tearing,
You are now the reason I am afraid of the dark,
You are now the reason I no longer trust no one,
You are now my worst nightmare.

Although on the other hand

I thank you for the strength that I have gained,
I thank you for the courage you instilled in me,
I thank you for the challenges you challenged me to,
I thank you for the independence I got from the detachment.
I thank you for awakening me.

In life we tend to go through certain experiences that make us automatically strong. They are not necessarily human inflicted but scenarios that make us awaken from the phase we were wrapped up in. Instead of letting situations get you down, overcome and learn from them.
