Closed Chapter

by @twinkle

*Don't make me laugh Your not in love with me Let me tell you why It's just your fantasy Cause this is not love You surely are mistaken You've never felt love  or anything close to it Cause you never had  love to under stand You were too busy with pleasing Standing up to expectations Trying to fit a larger than life figure Chasing dreams that were impossible You drove yourself harder  Hoping that somehow you'd make up for the affection you did not receive. Your running on empty  And empty is all you can give. Love is not keeping yourself bottled And taking flight for the smallest threat. To your grandiosity. Love is not sending cryptic clues Trying to gauge responses Love is not in hiding But in making itself felt Love's presence is silent Yet the warmth radiates. So I have nothing to expect from you. Your tethering is not astonishing I can understand the see-saw you feel inside. An emotional wave you fear to ride. So it's best we let bygones be what they are meant to be. Don't start the process all over. Try not to kindle the spark Cause the fires have blown over. I've healed myself, of the emptiness you've left behind. I am not turning back this time. My resolve is deep,  my mind made up. I have promises made to myself. To live a full life and always be content. So, heads up I walk into my future Closing the door of my past. Letting go of the riddle of a relationship And leaving the hurt behind. You are now a closed chapter. The book I could not complete.*
