apologies
simple apologies that you made but didn't mean
in the end it's the little things that get to me
i guess it took me long enough to realize
that when you said you wouldn't hurt me the smile didn't reach your eyes
i thought maybe if i said i was okay it would make it true
but if it were, wouldn't I be able to trust someone new?
instead the nights just get colder, and the days get longer
the bitch of it is that i feel like this killed me instead of making me stronger

I feel this time and time again. Apology after apology and still I can't walk away, destined to always love in this way. I think I'm not the only one cursed. Thanks, it's a good read.

Powerful line, "....the smile didn't reach your eyes".
Love makes you do strange things. I hope that time has healed and the break has set and is now stronger than before.

I feel like I can hear this...
definitely has a spoken word feel to it
might be the start of something with this
just something to think of
