Being left behind isn’t easy.
Being blindsided is unfair.
Betrayal is always hard.
Betrayal from someone you loved with all your heart is unbearable.

Did you stay with him for years and he still left?
Thank him.
Did you let yourself lose your former glory because of him and he still left?
Thank him.
Did you start planning your future together and he still left?
Thank him.
Did you forgive him many times in the past and he still left?
Thank him.

Thank him for having the guts to let you go.
Thank him for giving you an out of a toxic relationship… a love that is a cycle of apologies and full of promises that he never truly kept.
Thank him for giving you the chance to make better dreams…something you couldn’t allow yourself to imagine before because you always had to consider him.
Thank him for giving you the chance to be the best version of yourself… the version that you can never be when he is around. Because, Woman, he is just weighing you down.

Thank him because when he left you behind, what he didn’t know is this:
He set you free.

Now it’s your time to fly high,
Where he can’t reach you and weigh you down ever again; 
Where he can only look up as you fulfill your destiny even greater than your dreams.
So smile. Let go of the bitterness and hate. Thank him instead.

Butterflies and doubts
Rainbows and dark skies
You’re my in-between.

Lips are smiling
Heart is aching
I’m in between.

Beautiful harmonies,
Heartbreaking laments
Here in our in-between.

And I feel myself slipping slowly
Far, far away from the in-between.

Faye C.

Every beat aches.

Every breath hurts.

There is only so much a person can take.

Need solace, a place of solitude.

Need the stars, a guide back home.

Need silence, a way to reflect.

Need myself to stop aching,

To stop hurting.

There is only so much a heart can fake.

There is only so much a person can take.

Faye C.

Can you hear it?

The thump of my heart whenever you are near

Can you see it?

The smile on my lips only you could bring

Can you feel it?

The flutter in my stomach as I realize that I’m falling

I’m falling

Falling in deep

Falling in hard

Falling in love.

Can you taste it in the air?

That little frightened part of my heart

Do you hear me?

Do you see me?

Do you feel me?

Or am I the only one falling?

Only one falling

Falling in deep

Falling in hard

Falling in love.

- Faye C.

Singing in the rain, dancing with the wind

Soaking in the sun, hiding in the dark

Can’t seem to take that feeling

That hole

That emptiness

You made me feel

You made me hope

You made me think about the joys of tomorrow

Only you took it all

And now here I am

….
