Break Up

I wish I did it before, I wish I did it on time
When I knew it was the right thing, that this would be the ultimate ending
Cause now that you’ve cut me loose, I’m suffocating.
Feeling burns in my throat, scratches in my heart
And all I can feel is pain.
Pure pain and deep disappointment which will eventually become numbness… I hope.

My arms are no longer yours to be held in 
My lips do not wait for yours anymore,
My body is not your property no more.
It hurts to think I’m not yours and that I will soon be another’s. 
But it’s agonizing to know that you were never mine, while I waited forever.
Time caught us, life tricked us and now here we are:
You and Me, not Us, not together.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
