He was just a phase.
Much like the moon with its different phases
He came and stayed on my sky for a bit
Enough to inspire
Enough for me to want and fall in love with.
And like the moon
He disappeared one day
And slowly too did my desire for him.
He was just a phase
A lesson I had to learn the hard way
But a lesson learned, nonetheless.

Heart once was full, now there is none.
Heart once was gold, now it’s all gone.
Heart that was neat, now all a giant mess.
Heart that had more, now is feeling less and less
The world is cruel sometimes
For here I am loving you
Yet there you are, loving her

My coffee has gone cold waiting for me.
In this cold morning, my coffee is colder still.
Much like your cold heart
Who left me lying on the cold floor
With my heart held in my cold hands.
And yet, I still drink my bitter cold coffee
As I toast the cold morning air
Remembering that from your coldness
I learned to embrace the warmth of my own sunshine.

She swept you away like a tide
Swallowed you whole
You held your breath for her
Because for you,
She was worth it.
.
She was the most stunning rainbow you’ve ever seen
The loveliest rose in the garden.
But you broke her too
Replaced her with someone new
Kind of like how you replaced me…
…with her.

A humming bird came knocking
Asking if it can bring anything for me
I whispered to it and said
Bring me love
Bring me joy
Bring me smile
Bring me back my heart
The one stolen by you.
He made my heart skip a bit
But he also made me feel insecure
I was throwing myself at his feet
But still I was nothing more
I couldn’t love you for it would be a lie
I couldn’t let you wait on me or let you say you’d rather die
Than be alone and without me.
For what you felt for me was never love, not at all
It was infatuation and wanting, no, not love at all.
To hold your breath if I told you to
That would have been too much power I’d hold over you.
You were wrong for me for I never wanted or liked you
And I truly am sorry for I could never learn to love you.
There was a time not so long ago that I loved with all my heart.
But it is now lost.
Gone until further notice.
His smile
His eyes
The way he looks
The way he walks
Chuckles and talks
All the same.
His lies
His deceit
The hopelessness
The heartaches
They are all the same too.
Somethings never change
But not me, not anymore.
I want to be rich. Rich in love, rich in health, rich in laughter, rich in adventure and rich in knowledge. You?
“We need never be ashamed of our tears.” Charles Dickens (Great Expectations)
