My Love Is Timeless
A poem about endlessness

I want to get off.
I want to explore different rides, because we’ve already exhausted this one.
My heart spins around you in an endless circle on this merry-go-round you’ve taken us on, but it’s time to end the ride and find a new source of happiness.
My love is timeless for you, but I just can’t keep waiting for a spark that will never happen. I’m to blame for that, but there’s nothing that can be done now.
I just feel like I don’t know who you are anymore-perhaps I never knew the true you in the first place.
I miss the mysterious you, the curious you who was begging to learn even one more detail about me. I miss what we had when we first started, but it’s too late to turn back now.
We’ve crawled out of the cave of unfamiliarity, and a massive rock slide of comfort has trapped the entrance back in, preventing us from starting over.
I hate it.
I hate where we are right now, and it’s my fault.
I just thought this was going to be different. Alas, that’s exactly what was said last time.
I just keep making the same mistake, but I would make that mistake again in a heartbeat turn back the clock. I just wish I hadn’t rushed it with us, and it’s in no way your fault it didn’t work out between us, but I can’t help picturing your face when my heart cracks more each day.
I was lured into your trap, even when there was no trap to fall into.
Your smile, your confidence, your charm-they’ll be better off with someone else, is what I’ve learned.
When we first started, we built a bridge together connecting us that seemed unbreakable. The fires that spread us apart burned all of the progress we made, and there’s no more materials left to rebuild that once-precious connection.
I miss what we had.
I really do.
I want to get off this merry-go-round, because my heart’s on its last legs.
You’re too busy looking for another rider to see the damage that’s been done, and it inflicts pain deeper than a sharp stab when I think about.
We won’t ever be the same again, will we?
