Just So Different
You said I wouldn't lose you,
But it's to late now
For I already have
Drifting apart ever so slowly
Why did I even trust your hollow promises?
I should have seen them for what they were
Empty
And a cover-up
For what you were really saying was:
Goodbye
It can't ever be the same
Not even close
I trusted you completely
But you took my heart,
Without careful handling
You dropped it
And trampled and shattered it on the ground
I can't really be angry with you
Only with myself
For being so stupid to ever believe
You could really care that way about me
Now I will pick up the pieces with gentle ease
And fit them back together as best I can
It still hurts at times when I let down my guard
but I'm slowly moving on
Painfully slow
From that place I once was
Of caring for you
My heart is sad, but glad
For what I've realized
Next time I will be more careful
Of who I so quickly place my trust in
Now I can return your farewell
With the same
Goodbye my love
~I believe this one still needs a bit of work, but I decided to post it anyways. :) thanks
