Tears of a Broken Heart

I have opened my soul and my heart to you My mind has ingested every part of you I have allowed you to feast upon my body I have enjoyed you like you were my hobby My love for you is unfortunately one-sided This thing we have has me feeling slighted It hurts that my feelings are not returned And your lack of emotion has me feeling burned When you don’t return my calls, it makes me feel the fool Sitting by an unringing phone, the torture is cruel When you say you’ll do something then you renege It breaks my heart like it is some sort of fragile twig To put my faith in you and all of it be in vain Makes me bitter and consumed with disdain I don’t want to hate you because you are a good man You’re just not good for me and you can no longer be in my plan I’m tired of crying these tears of sorrow Because I yearn to have a happier tomorrow These pain-induced tears that you have continuously caused Has made me think and put my life on pause Why do I always do this to myself….self-reflection Allow the unworthy to have my heart…constant rejection I’m tired of crying behind someone who doesn’t even want me Wasting my emotions on something that wasn’t meant to be I’m bleeding inside from the pain of a broken heart But now, it’s past the time for us to finally depart Maybe one day, you’ll open up yourself to love me Maybe one day, you’ll open your eyes to finally see That the love I possessed for you was real and true But by the time you realize this, it’ll be too late for you.

To walk away from an unfeeling user is the mark of an inner strength. Well written. We can't hand on to the attention from others to validate that we can be loved. We are so much more. Well written.

I read every word and couldn't help but think "this is exactly how I felt not too long ago". I may not know you but I know that everyone deserves to be loved and that you will find your special someone who will effortlessly return your feelings of unconitional love. He is not worth your tears. You are a woman so I know you are strong! Keep that head of yours held high, Constance xo
