You kind of break my heart

A poem

Every time I turn my back to you,

I rely on all of your lies

While you play with me like children do.

Don’t try to find new reasons

To prove yourself right

I could wait for you all four seasons

I swear I wouldn’t mind.

I loved your little smile, but more than that,

I loved you being you, silly and mad.

Try to be nicer, don’t break some other hearts

Trust me you will find someone,

You will think it was guided by stars.

But remember, no matter if I am gone

No one will ever care for you, the way that I have done.

And don’t regret the things that happened in past

We cannot go back, nothing ever lasts.

And time just flows, and they say that it heals

But why am I bleeding, even though it has been years?

My love to you was deeper, than I wanted it to be

And it aches every time you remind of yourself to me.

It is not your fault, I am the one who is stupid

I lived in my dreams, as I always do it.

But it is time to wake up, and lose the hope

You can’t force your love on someone, so you just don’t.

Even though I will never tell you

About the things that I have felt,

Deep in my heart I have a hope

For you to find it out yourself.

I have loved you dearly, and struggled as well

With burden that was bigger than the lies I have said.

I want to let you go, and set myself free

I hope one day I also find the missing piece of me.

But till then, if you ever need a shoulder to lean on

I will be there for you, my friend,

And my love that was unknown.
