I Always Knew

I know what you have you say, but I’m not so sure I want to hear the words.

 

 

I can never explain my frustration

I scream till there’s nothing left to be said

I want it how it used to be

But that cant be as you can see

 

The first time you said this, I broke down

This time I barley showed a frown

I’m trying to keep it bottled up inside

So no one can see the tears I cried

 

I know I put this all on myself

So I tried to lay everything on a shelf

But nothing works as planned

It all slowly slips from your hands

 

There’s nothing you can do when it falls apart

But eventually you find a new start

My world split in half when you ran out the door

Leaving nothing but a draft

 

I can’t stand how it’s always been so easy for you to let us go

But now I do see that I don’t need you

But I still fell like a shooting star, unpredictable and beautiful

As I showed all my un-showed scars

 

I always knew what you have you say, but I didn’t want to hear the words

A sad and powerful tale for love.
"But I still fell like a shooting star, unpredictable and beautiful
As I showed all my un-showed scars"
Hard to find love. Harder to hold on to it. I liked the above lines. Scars of love become honored with time and separation. Better to had known love and embraced it than wished we did. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry. You made me think this early morning.
