Close My Eyes

by Mia   Nov 28, 2016


I gave in to the temptation of love
I gave in to the idea that what I found in you was lasting
The touch of your hand
The warmth in your smile
I gave in, to all of that
And I've realized, just now, that I conspired a concoction of misleading truths to love you
You were perfect,
In every way
But I loved you, to say I've loved
I love you, to say I've pained
I do pain
Tears rolling down my cheeks
Pretending I never heard you say it's over
Pretending that I didn't love you
I don't know if I loved you
You didn't give me enough time
You gave me three simple words and then you took them away two weeks later
you broke me into a million pieces and I am stuck
I am stuck wanting to move forward
Wanting to breath like I used to
But I can't
I don't move
I am stationary in the chaos of my own making
So I take a breathe, between pathetic sobs, and close my eyes

    Mia,
    This is so full of emotion.
    We often find ourselves in that kind of position,
    Where what we had with someone was great, but then things happen and we question the sanity of it all.
    I felt the heartbreak in this.
    Hugs.

    I absolutely loved this.. So much emotion throughout, I guess many of us can relate to this.

    Those last two lines, powerful great imagery.

    Mia,

    There is no doubt at all that when we crave something desperately, we do all we can to convince ourselves that it's there, especially in the case of love. It's a bit of a rude awakening when we realise it was never quite what we thought it was.

    All the best,

    Ben
