Maybe in another universe... (poetry)

Maybe in another universe we were for the best; maybe in another universe you did not leave me to bleed; maybe in another universe you loved me as much as I loved you, but not in this one. In this universe, you were the knife in my chest. I was bleeding to death when I picked myself up, I healed my own wounds, and I cried on my own shoulder. It took a lot of time for the cuts and bruises to fade off, but inside of me, there´s still poison from when you broke my heart, but I won´t let it kill me. The venom that stains my mouth makes me stronger; it reminds me that I'm much more than I could think; I'm much more than what you made me. And now that you´re back, I don´t know what to do. On a rainy day, I see your face for the first time in what feels like ages, and the poison inside of me burns my organs as I remember everything. I don't want to forgive you, but could I? After all I've been through, could I say your name without spitting venom out of my guts? If I could choose, I'd rather be in a universe where this never even happened, some place where you do not exist. But in my universe, you do, and I have to learn how to deal with this. I will take you as a lesson, and I will move on stronger than I ever was.
