Not For Long

Where's the fun in saying you can't see me that day
When you could raise my hopes first and then
Knock them down like building blocks?
I only try because I care but you've
Worn me out, led me on, taken
All I have to give, until I feel
Empty inside without you.
Should be used to it but
I am naïve and still a
Part of me believes.
But not for long.
Not for long.


No.

Sometimes it takes time to move on. All I can think, is anyone not totally appreciating you, anyone hurting you - is simply not good enough for you. Love how you wrote this, so excellent. Hate how you are feeling though. Hugs. Love ya, Shar xoxo
