It’s too familiar.

I recognize it right away.

I can already begin,

On autopilot,

To pick up the pieces again.

I shouldn’t have gotten so good at this.

I remember when it used to destroy me,

When I didnt know how to pick them up again,

But I learned that from you.

The lesson hurt,

But it serves me well now,

To know how strong I am.

Maybe your undoing me

Was the source of my strength…

Do i thank you for that?
