Nothing

Broken sleep,

this fever is killing me,

tossing and turning,

awaking every hour,

to check my phone,

to see if you have called,

like you said you would,

nothing.

Mind races,

thoughts of you,

doing all the things,

you say you wouldn't,

all it takes to calm my mind,

was one text from you,

nothing.

You said 'No problem love',

'Ill text you when I get home'

nine hours have passed,

no response,

nothing.

Dont tell me things,

if your not going to follow through,

you're already on eggshells,

and this you know,

so why make it harder on yourself,

why give up something you want,

something I want,

just to not follow through,

nothing.

You make me feel like the bad guy,

bothering you all the time,

no response from you just angers me,

and yet you choose to not soothe me.

Nothing.

I can't take it anymore,

I can't have you in my life,

I wanted to see if it was worth it,

I ask of you simple things,

and you cannot follow though,

you do what you do,

and it just isnt good enough,

so I have to let you be,

with nothing from me.

A well put-together poem about the emotional aspects of ending a relationship! I can feel the emotion in this piece! Thanks for sharing!
