Everybody DANCE! (or, 'there are days i hate my muse')

[xmostlydeadx]

Initially:
   -I was frightened.
   -I was terrified.
   -I was not sold on plausibility of single life.

In the Recent Past:
   -You left in an attempt to punish me.
     --thought I'd fall apart.
     --thought I might even give up hope.
   -I expended massive amounts of energy.
     --keeping it together.
     --attempting to fix my injured heart.
   -I moped.
     --awash in self-pity.
     --drowned in tears.
   -I meditated upon the errors of your ways.
     --suffered insomnia.
   -I raised my self-esteem.
   -I learned more efficient coping mechanisms.
   -I did not undertake steps to secure my domicile.
     --should have.
   -I underestimated your tenacity.

At this Point in Time:
   -I am full of self-confidence.
     --have become a new person.
     --no longer infatuated with you.
   -You've returned.
     --from very far away.
     --or possibly a very good drug trip.
   -You're wearing a piteous look.
     --expect me to fall back in love with you.
   -I'm saving myself.
     --for someone other than you.

In the Immediate Future:
   -You will vacate the premises.
     --my invitation is rescinded.

In the Long Term:
   -I will persevere.
     --longevity abounds.
     --love is free and unlimited.
