Goodbyes

My eyes burn as I

Try to hold back these

Tears.

I sit on the edge of

The bed we’ve

Made love on,

But never felt love in,

And watch you pack your things.

I want to scream,

Anything to make you stop

Packing away

The life we’ve

Built together.

You look at me,

Not bothering to

Stop the tears.

Hoping, praying that

I say something to make you stay.

We both know the words

You need to hear

Won’t ever come

From these lips of mine.

You leave, the tears fall,

The walls break,

The warmth is gone.

At least I know I’m

Safe.

It is love not hate that often hurts us the most. We fall into little traps in life because of love. It makes us think we want something. That it will help us. The reality is this. It more often than not will hurt us, but we are often too young to realize how much life we have left and how much love comes with it. You must always love yourself before you can love another. Until we prove ourselves to one another. Then we may try and love someone more than we love ourselves. Thank you for the wonderful writing.

Thank you so much! I agree with you, when we love someone we put their needs before the things we actually want and we try to make ourselves into someone we're not to make them happy. We sometimes lose ourselves when we love someone. Thank you for the insightful comment.

I am happy for the end....the strength i felt with those words "...You need to hear
Won’t ever come
From these lips of mine.
You leave, the tears fall,
The walls break,
The warmth is gone.
At least I know I’m
Safe. ...."
stay strong....
