Poem
~ Falling ~ I was a little girl with so many dreams Even through the worst of times I kept my chin up and let My dreams keep me alive I was okay Until my dreams got crushed And my worst fear came true ~ Falling ~ With no dreams to lean on As I started to go throw the changes I was a teenager With a huge chip on my shoulder If you weren’t with me you were against me I had many friends Yet most of them were superficial I never let anyone get too close. I was too afraid of ~ Falling ~ As the years went by I slowly came into my own I became a woman With many scars hidden inside Yet it seemed like one word shined brightly on my head SUCKER As so many times I thought I had found that one Someone only to find out That they weren’t that person I wanted them to be They were only taking advantage of me I didn’t understand why I seemed to keep ~ Falling ~ Finally I moved back closer to home I found an apartment and made it my home I was doing well on my own Then I met You First we were friends For three years our friendship grew and grew Then we both admitted The feelings we had for one another were Way more than friends So we began to date Then a few short months later we moved in together And before we knew it Our wedding was here I started to feel secure I was starting to get over my fear of ~ Falling ~ Then boom the bomb dropped and I caught A glimpse of someone I never knew you to be While you never raised a hand at me You never did anything to hurt me physically It’s your words though That cut right through me And it became apparent that we were never meant to be More than friends Looking back I can see so many signs That before I couldn’t see And if I had known then what I know now I would never have begged you to stay The first time you wanted to walk out that door. Now you are gone and here I am Moving on At first I didn’t think I could I thought my world was ending I couldn’t see that a new chapter in my life was just Beginning And while I will always love you That love has changed It is not as deep anymore As I am ~ Falling ~ Out of love with you By: Jean Shular
