As much as I miss you
As much as I need you here
I hope you choke on the lies
you whispered sweetly in my ear
Lips pressed to my forehead
broken promises flying around
Watch me have the strength to leave
while you're crying on the ground
I've moved on, I'm letting go
It's about time I locked my love away
no more tear filled nights
Not even one more pain fueled day
I've locked you in my heart
and I've thrown away the key
where you can't hurt me anymore
locked in a place you will forever be.
I know our love was real and true.
I'm grateful for what time we shared
Though we both know it's time that I moved on...
So Now, I declare, that I'm prepared,
to love again, and be repaired.

The title of your contest grabbed me instantly...... 
*Inspiration:
maybe you don't recognize my strength and the leaps i've taken forward, but i really hope it ties a knot inside of your stomach to watch me forget about the circumstantial barriers you've built around my heart.
Please tell me what you think

This is a really good piece, and strong. Most of us can definitely relate to the heartbreak but there's just a handful of us brave enough to pick up the pieces and move on. Thanks for sharing.

This is really good, and shows a pure heart within you, to show such compassion for someone who has hurt you so. If only we all could learn from our pasts and appreciate even the hard times as lessons learned. Well done for moving on so bravely, and a double well done for expressing yourself so brilliantly for us all to read.
well done.

A very powerful piece indeed! Having recently left a toxic relationship, your words ring true in my soul. It is so difficult to leave, but so freeing when you finally move on. The following line very much touched me..
"I've moved on, I'm letting go
It's about time I locked my love away
no more tear filled nights
Not even one more pain fueled day"
Thank you for the read!
