I never said I would be easy But I also wasn't so hard That you made me stand outside you While I let you inside my heart.
There were nights I crawled Into my bed, to never find warmth and peace Keeping my side of our promises Isn't easy alone, you see.
There were hours I spent Waiting on you, Only for you to arrive and leave; While I, in all my foolishness, thought you were the antidote to me.
I fall down everyday In trying to make us rise. I silence them everyday, Those tears that slide down my cheeks asking, "Where's the end to this sacrifice?"
Conversations with you turn stale Solutions take turns insane Is goodbye our closure? Maybe, yeah - I should've known! "Happily ever after"s were never in my fate.
But before we do that, Before I leave, I wish you knew this, I wish you understood my side of the scene - I never stopped waiting on you, even when I said no I never stopped loving you, even when you said don’t And that moment you threw us away I died, and continue to do so.
**Forever yours.
This is the first poem I've submitted here. I usually keep those random pages and places I scribble poems on locked up or torn or trashed. This one, umm, I've submitted with a sliver of hope and hesitation. Hope y'all like it!
