I came across this old poem I wrote in the middle of my last break-up. It really reminded me how lucky I am to be past this very sad stage in my life. And it reminds me to be even more grateful for the love I have finally found :) ... hope you all enjoy.
I THOUGHT I FOUND...
I thought I found that special one
Thought I found something more than lust.
But in the end all that I've found,
Is another that I can't trust.
Just like a broken record,
Heartbreak scratched and on repeat.
Staring in a broken mirror
Shattered glass is my defeat.
Please tell me we can piece together
A reflection of what's lost.
Can this fallacy continue?
Can I hide this broken heart?
In solitude and cold I sit,
Ice my back to numb the pain.
Even when I lay here paralyzed,
Could you forget to call again?
I underestimate your callus
Your love must have been a lie.
I underestimate emotion
Words could never justify...
I thought I found that special one
Thought I found something more than lust.
But in the end all that I've found,
Is another that I can't trust.
I read the words you sent to him,
Guess I wasn't meant to see.
Telling him you're missing him,
Though you're here in bed with me.
"Better in each others arms"
"You want some company?"
The lovely words you're telling him
While I cry myself to sleep.
It hurts to know you can't let go
As you push me far away.
You say you care, then I don't know...
How can you treat me this way?
The amount of pain you're causing me
Cannot be described.
These feelings of uncertainty
Keep growing deep inside.
I thought I found that special one
Thought I found something more than lust.
But in the end all that I've found,
Is another that I can't trust.
