Opportunities Wasted
Kirsten Hampton May 2018
Yesterday I finally realized;
I’m finally ready to get over you;
I’m ready to let go;
I’m tired of waiting;
Waiting for you to see;
See that I’m here;
I love you;
But I’m done waiting for you to realize;
Realize what we have;
I see it;
I will always want you;
A part of me will always be yours;
But for right now;
I don’t need you;
I need me;
Maybe someday we’ll find our way back to each other;
But for right now, I need to do what’s best for me;
And what’s best for me is not waiting for something that may or may not happen;
Until you’re ready;
I’ll do me;
And you do you;
You may never realize;
But that is your loss, not mine then;
Because if you don’t realize me for who I am;
Or who I want to be with you;
Then there is nothing I can do for you;
But let the opportunity go that was sought out to be;
A truly;
Amazing;
Thing.

Broken Pieces
Kirsten Hampton May 2018
I’m broken,
In so many places,
And you are a part of me that’s broken,
But somehow I always come back to you,
I don’t know why,
I don’t know how,
It just happens,
Maybe it’s supposed to be like this,
Maybe I’m supposed to see you move on,
Maybe it will help me move on,

Who am I kidding,
It’s you,
It’s always been you,
It will always be you,
Even when I’ve been so awful to you,
You are still there for me,
When I feel like giving up,
You’re right there for me to fall back on,
I guess you’re not a broken piece of me,
I’m just broken and you’re helping me fix it.

Features
Kirsten Hampton May 2018
You make me angry;
Angry because I can’t get over you;
I’ve tried so hard;
Tried not caring;
I’ve even tried ignoring you;
Every time I get close, your right there;
I want to be over you;
But I can’t;
I’m angry at you;
But for all the wrong reasons;
I’m angry because you’re sweet;
You’re funny;
You’re kind;
You’re crazy good looking;
But what I love about you aren’t those features;
It’s the fact that you are there for me no matter what;
You see right through my mask;
I changed my mind;
I’m not angry at you;
I’m angry at myself;
Because I can’t get over you;
But it’s okay;
Because I’m not ready to let go yet;
I’m still waiting...

Smell The Roses
Kirsten Hampton May 2018
And I suddenly realized...
To not care anymore, you will hurt others;
But to care too much, you will hurt yourself;
You love with your brain, you hurt him;
You love with your heart, he hurts you;
You speak without thinking, they turn on you;
You think of others, they walk all over you;
You want what’s best for you, you’re selfish;
You put others before you, they take advantage of you;

You have to find a happy-medium. For you but for others at the same time. You are going to get hurt. You have to get back up and do it all over again. In the end, you gain more knowledge. It’s called life.

Happy Thoughts
Kirsten Hampton May 2018
You make me happy,
Even everything we’ve been through,
You still make me happy,
I don’t know why,
I don’t know how,
But every time I see you I can’t help but smile,
I still feel butterflies in my stomach every time I’m around you,
Even when I think of you,
I try to hide it,
I pretend it’s not there,
But it always comes up,
Even when you act so stupid,
I can’t help but laugh,
We have went back and forth,
On and off,
So many times,
I assume it gets annoying,
But it doesn’t to me,
I don’t know if you feel the same anymore,
So I’ll just wait,
I’ll keep waiting until you see,
That I’m finally ready for a real relationship,
I’m ready to put everything aside,
Stop making excuses,
And be happy with you,
Even when it gets bad,
Stay by you and let you help me,
I don’t know how it works,
But I can never stay mad around you,
I’m always happy when you’re around,
And I can’t hide it

Love Hurts
Kirsten Hampton Apr 2018
I loved you,
I still love you,
I said I needed time,
I said we were too different,
I said I needed space,
But all I wanted was for you to fight for me,
All I wanted was for you to say you weren’t leaving me,
And you were staying,
Everybody’s leaving me these days,
You were the only person I cared if they stayed or not,
I wanted you,
I still want you,
But you’ve moved on,
And it’s time for me to move on,
I hope one day we find our way back to each other,
Because you were what kept me to together,
You were the only one there for me when I didn’t even want to exist anymore,
And now every time I think of you,
Or see you,
Or think of you being with someone else,
There’s a hole in my heart,
I don’t want to feel that hole anymore,
But I’m afraid it will be there forever,
It’s time for me to let go,
Find my own way...

— The End —
