Fall Apart

November 12, 2024

I cried

Pleaded with my eyes

Begged him to stay

He knew a part of me that no one else had dared to get close to

I trusted him because he was different

I had no reason to think otherwise

Until he left, sudden

Like a stormy night after a beautiful sunny day

Things were so perfect when everything was pushed under the rug

But we tripped

And now we have to clean it up

To be able to see eye to eye

I want him so badly I was willing to destroy myself with him

And for what? Just to be his?

I gave everything and it still wasn't enough

He still wanted more

"There's other options, you'll find better"

I thought I had found the best when we met

"I don't want this to end"

I wept as he held my head

His arm wrapped around my waist holding me close

I wish he never let me go

Maybe it wasn't meant to be

But I don't think it was meant to fail either
