I Never Knew

I never knew how much truth

“out of sight, out of mind” could lack

until you said that you

were never coming back.

 

I never knew how painfully

this dear heart of mine could crack

until I gave you everything
and you gave me nothing back.

 

I never knew how much truth

“it just takes time” could lack

until you said that you

no longer loved me back.

I never knew how cruel the world could feel

when it’s painted white and black
until you took the color with you

I just want you back

Freaking what!? This is absolutely spectacular! I think "out sight" in Stanza 1 Line 2 should read "out of sight".....better flow and I think that's how the expression goes. But other than that: again, I've been there. It hurts. And this is fabulously put. Well freaking done!

this is so tragic, how can a person no longer love them back, I see the trouble with miscommunication here, that is one sad element to it all of it, I am sorry you had to go through all of this, you seem to have resilience and love for life still I hope you get all what you ask for for Christmas, if you ask for things, you seem like cool girl

sorry I am a little late on this, but everything that you said means a lot! :) Definitely a sad element to it all, heartbreak is never fun but you're right I will continue to stay resilient through it all. Thank you and you seem cool as well :)
