When you left

When you left

A Poem by SarahCortland
"

Not so great needs some fix up

"
I sat and cried the moment you left 
The reality had sunk in at best 
I realized you were never coming back 
This time would be different than the rest.

I had hoped that you came for peace 
But my heart had just taken another leap.
Why would you do something for me
This pain you must want me to keep.

I fell to the floor when you left
Embarrassed and shamed 
I had yet again let you in
And only I was to be blamed 

My tears seemed to be their own words
Falling to be heard 
As you took me in your arms once more
Then left without a word

I screamed when you left 
With fury at no one other than me
I knew I'd fell once again
I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever see.

My heart seemed more broke this time 
Leaving me to wonder if it would mend
I knew it was too good to be true 
And I should have put it to an end

But I gave up when you left 
And realized it wasn't just me 
You knew what you were doing 
I had been too blind to see
