thank you

i've accepted that i love me better
than you have or ever will
i won't continue to push myself through
with false hopes and empty promises
i will not sacrifice myself to keep you

thank you for breaking me down so low
to the point where i realized there has to be more
thank you for all your conflicting reasons
cause i know i can't help your indecision
thank you for all of the nothing you gave
which left me with nothing but the world to gain

i've accepted that this can't work
when i'm the one doing all the heavy lifting
i'm not strong enough to do this alone
i'm ashamed and disgusted
by the weakness you've shown

you made me hurt (thank you)
but you made me see (thank you)
you mean less to me than my sanity
(thank you)

Title: thank you

It's a nice elegy of sorts. I try never to assume a poem is autobiographical, but if so, I'd say you gained some hard-won wisdom and wrote a poem about something that is difficult to get out. And being at one time a rightful recipient of a poem like this, I appreciate the sentiment.
