Ashley Smith Poet Free verse

Unkept

Opposite directions at full speed
and there's no need
So why am I concerned
with how everything could be
like it should be
text messages and voicemails
full of request and regret
cause me to remember
but how could I forget
still I cant seem to let go
of the single life, I know
what to expect what should be shared
it's been so long since I've cared

I've really never had someone
who kept their promise not to run
things happen, people change
so with my life I've rearranged
I've started focusing on me, getting my degree
Trying to become what you couldnt see
but with other relationships, been absentee
Because I cant seem to let go
of the single life I know
What to expect what should be shared
It's been so long since I've cared

Lonely nights, lively days
Hoping I get through this stage
and to the phase, where I'm ready
Where I let someone in, and they let me
So afraid of saying no to the wrong one, letting go
but more afraid to accept and leave my wild hairs unkept
so I'll focus on this season instead of trying to find a reason
but I can't seem to let go
of the single life, I know
What to expect what should be shared
It's been so long since I've cared
