Bittersweet

You are sweet

He is bitter.

You are a treat

He is crazy.

I thought that you would be the man in my life,

The man of my dreams,

And me be your wife.

In reality I was a joke

All you wanted was a super hard poke.

Glad I didnt have a chance to be a slut

I just wish I could stop loving you from my gut.

I will stay with him

To keep the peace

But wish for you

In my sleep.

Kind soul

You are a kind soul. You are a blessing. I am so glad that I can still know what you are doing. I am not part of your life but you will always be part of mine. You are a dream that I know will never come true. I can still dream and think of you. I find comfort in knowing you are still alive. My kind soul.

painful

When I see your picture it brings it all back.

I want you out of my head and my heart.

How can I have such feelings for you?

You still have a power over me that I cannot let go.

I didn’t even really know you.

There was something magical about you.

You have this influence that is painful.

I wonder if you knew it would make a difference.

I am sure you wouldn’t care.

 

you told me

You told me I was nice.

I was.

You told me I was funny.

I was.

You told me this was cool.

It was.

You told me I was pretty.

I am.

You told me we’d be friends.

I was.

You told me you needed my help.

I did.

You told me to meet you.

I drove.

You told me to text you if I was sad.

I did.

You told me to be grateful.

I was.

You told me to have boundaries.

I did not.

You told me that we could not come back from that.

I did.

You told me not to contact you.

I won’t.

 

matter

Did it ever really matter?

Did you ever really care?

Was it just a game for you or

Really just a crazy dare?

I think about you often

But not for lust or fame.

I think about your often

Because you were a flame.

I really wished I mattered,

I really wished you cared.

I wished you’d reconsider,

Before I disappear.

 

 

Moving On

How do I move on when I still am totally in love with you? I just do. I am trying to love him. I am trying to love the man I am married to. I am trying to be happy. I am trying to make him happy. I am trying to believe that I love him. I am trying to move on. I really am. I know you have moved one. I know I must move on. I know I must.

Think of me

As he lays sleeping I think of you. I think about what could of been. I think about how wonderful you are. I wonder if you think of me. I am working on things here to try and make it work. I am trying to make myself happy. I am trying hard for him to see that I am happy. I am trying to fall in love with him.  Thoughts of you cloud my mind. It makes me wonder about my choices. It makes me sad to think of you. I wonder how and why I fell so hard. I miss you so much. But I know that it is better for me to go on. You told me to. You told me that it would never work. You told me that you didn’t want to do this. I understand. But I still think of you and wonder if you think of me.

The Hike

Up and down the road I go. Wondering if it will ever get easier.  Thinking and planning every step. Then realizing that the path I have taken cannot be controlled. It was done before me.  It didn’t think about my needs but thought about what was right for me. I am thankful for this hike.  It takes me along the path… learning as I go that the steps I take will lead me to where I need to be.
