Abandon

Left alone to my own devices

I cry in the dark

wanting and needing you

so desperately.

So many nights,

so many tears.

So many things to say,

so many things I want to hear.

You’ve never been the type

to console my pain,

to hold me through the tears.

My heart is broken,

my soul is weary.

I can’t keep fighting

for something

you’re not willing to give.

I’m sorry

for things unsaid,

the feelings unfelt.

I wish things were different.

Your time is up.

I’m moving on.

I will mend my heart

and rest my soul.

I will live,

I will thrive.

You will no longer hold me down.
