Stranded

Hurt and confusion swells up inside me

the tide of pain

swelling and shrinking against the beach

of my heart.

The waters are black.

The footprints you left

are slowly being washed away

as I pick up what little pride

I had left.

Your affection had tricked me

those delicate words of yours

the sparkle in your smile

the waver of nervousness in your voice

the tenderness there

had fooled me into thinking I was

actually worth something

I said you were different from the rest

I had high hopes for you

My mistake, My mistake.

Your answers to my questions changed often

and I often wondered

If I was good enough for you

and you told me I was

you told me I was

When you picked me up after I fell

I praised hallelujah

I found you

but even if you were

the special someone just for me

It was quite obvious

I wasn't for you

My fault. My flaws.

I told you my secrets

and opened my heart to you

I broke the seas to find you

only to stumble across someone

who didn't want me to stay

Sometimes we open up .... and then realise we shouldn't have.... a very beautiful photo ...that adds that touch to your equally beautiful writing...

Heartbreaking betrayal. Very deep and personal. I like it! Great job!
