That's Me Done

by C Cattaway   Dec 17, 2017


I dreamed that we would be; could be.
I wished, and hoped, & prayed.
We met along the way, sometimes.
But never did you stay.

I waited anyway, because
I thought when you were free
From all the hurt you'd felt before,
You'd truly notice me.

When someone tells you to move on,
It doesn't mean you will.
Just coz you don't feel how I do
Doesn't mean I won't, still.

It doesn't turn off, like a tap.
And not after this long.
You can't say I can find better,
When that's you, all along.

I knew it when I met you,
Before you had been broken.
I knew the way my smile lit up,
And how my heart was woken.

I dreamed that we could be; would be.
I hoped, and wished, and prayed.
You let me think we had a chance,
Yet still, you never stayed.

I was only ever second choice.
I've never been the one,
And now my heart has broken for
The last time, that's me done.

    An excellent piece about unrequited love. Sometimes people tag us along through conscious design and other times just can't make up their mind. It's difficult when you care more than they do to understand their motivation and does it matter when your heart is broken. The one thing I know to be true from experience is that no matter how much you love someone and believe you could never love anyone as much again. You will always find someone to love not in the same way (because all loves are different) but just as strongly. You just have to keep your heart and mind open. An excellent piece. Milly x

    This is a sad write but very beautifully written. Sometimes it's just easier to express how we feel on paper.

    It hurts but you better off without. I don't care for people who lead us on, string us along and at the end like you said "I am done". All the best
