To Love or Not to Love

The thoughful calls and sweet texts
Soon gave way to a flurry
Of coldness and deceit.
Maybe you got tired of waiting
Maybe you found another "special" one...
Why did you leave me in the dark?
To love or not to love to me is
To breathe or not to breathe.
Why am I so weak?

tonight

     
     
here I am, once again alone in my bed      
time-locked at midnight, every minute revolving      
turning disappointment      
over and over, leaving me      
frayed and knotted      
within an endless loop of loneliness      
     
     
and without a book      
     
     
I wish I'd borrowed      
something light      
to read about young love      
with smiles in their eyes      
where a simple glance
promises nothing more than fresh breath
and a soft kiss to smuggle back to bed      
     
     
secrets held in palms      
whispers shared under sheets      
losing track of time, caught in conversations      
sliding closer and closer      
where a well-loved mattress should      
hold memory      
     
     
an indent from good times      
traps lovers in the middle      
wrapped in each other’s arms      
     
     
here I am, accepting my marriage is      
broken, possibly broken beyond repair      
desperately waiting for      
my husband      
my friend      
to come back to me      
to take me in his arms      
to find the hurt in my eyes      
     
     
I wish my words could      
drift from my heart      
fall into his hands      
where he could make my sadness write      
laid out in our bed      
entwined in beautiful poetry      
so we can share the pain      
and shine      
     
     
out from this loneliness

Your Love As My Weakness

I cannot keep staying where I do not feel
Welcomed or wanted. I craved you to love
Me like I know I deserved and I prayed for
My entire life, but even that always gave

My life negative energy. You would steal
My heart every single time. Like a dove
I should have kept flying away. You swore
To not lead our love straight to the grave,

But yet you did time and time again. I still
Forgave you, but it was becoming a toxic
Cycle I could not leave until my heart was
Done. I could not let my life come to a skid

As I was constantly searching, trying to fill
The void by replacing you, but all my logic
Was off kilter and after the party’s buzz
Wore off I felt even more alone than I did

Before I met you. I could have tried harder
To move on, but you still had a hold on me
And my heart. Somehow you got into my
Fears and twisted them so I could never

Get over them. I had to let my metal armor
Become stronger not weaker as you see
Right through me and my weaknesses. Try
All you want to say about how you sever

Ties to who you used to be, but I cannot
Forget who you were back in high school.
I cannot forget that I had an impossible
Standard to reach for, but it should have

Been tall enough for you to reach. I caught
Feelings for someone who lost my jewel
And gold. This love became irresponsible,
Reckless, and something that was halved,

Not full or filled with light. You loved me in
So many wrong ways as if our love was a sin.
