Never Just Settle

I purposely stayed because I did not want to feel, I thought being in love again was overrated and unreal, I settled for less, because my heart was tired, At the end of the day, it was always me the one trying, I gave constantly until I could give no more, The love was never reciprocated from the door, I sit alone and ask God why, I contemplated, maybe I was meant to be alone through this life, To be truthfully honest my heart is broken, I don't know how to bring back all the love that's been stolen, Healing right now, I know will take time, And maybe one day my heart will be fine, But until I know for certain I will stay by myself, And will never again just settle for anyone else.

Hugs! I feel your angst and agree never settle! But I also believe in karma and your positive energy and love you put out will return to you. Just as the negative energy will come back to your ex!

Thank you Karen...I know what you mean, I sacrifice so much, and I forget myself...I just wished someone loved me just as much and I honestly have never had that
