Revised/Edited: Yes
Final Version: Undetermined
I take pictures of you with my cell phone,
and we laugh and pick at each other over which ones to keep.
If you had only realized how beautiful you were in my eyes.
I would have kept every picture. I would have held on to every moment.
I would have never let you go; your protector, your lover – always.
But you threw it all away.
You just couldn’t forgive my one simple mistake in judgment.
And everything we wove and constructed,
was ruined and destroyed over night.
You never understood. You heard my words but didn’t listen.
I was scared. I was confused.
I saw a future with you without end,
but you ignored it all. You stepped away……
But the reflection is so clear,
however the reality is that you’re not here.
And I’m drowning in my self misery,
over the loss of you – I want no one else.
Your smile is forever burnt upon my mind,
and I could never forget your sparkling eyes.
You haunt me both day and night,
and I am incomplete without you.
How did this happen? Why did I let you in?
I should have read the signs, but love is blissfully blind.
How sweet to feel complete and whole,
how bitter to be left broken and alone.
How quickly you vanished from my hands,
how fast you faded from my life.
Over one mis-step. One mistake.
How the bitterness of your resolve speaks the volume of your truth.
I should have known you were too good to be true.
Uncommunicable thoughts – a fury within,
a fire of rage burning where love no longer resides.
The emptiness leaves me emotionless,
and I want so bad to fucking cry but the tears refuse to fall.
I’m a fool for thinking you could love me.
I’m a fool for thinking you could let me love you.
Never again! Never again! Never…again.
