Poetry With Me

I hear the words you are saying and finally I feel nothing

I tried to feel something but something inside me said a resounding NO.

NO.

No you don’t get the pieces of me I once so freely gave

No you don’t get to use my body and heart to fill your cup

No you don’t get my love without proof of your intentions and the actions that need to align with them

No I will not accept your empty promises as payments for the wounds you once gave me when I had nothing but pure intentions towards you

No I do not want a man who presents himself well but who has no follow through

No I will not be with someone who makes me wonder if I am truly loved.

No you do not get to tell me you love me and not fight for me

You do not get to walk away and see if it will work with her and when it doesn’t you come crawling back to me

I will not be your second choice or your last

No I do not believe you when you say you love me anymore.

Because if you did you would have stayed

A man who wants you will come and get you and will not allow anyone or anything to stand in his way.

You did not want me

I was not the one

And I choose to not be

Because that also means you are not the one for me

I’m happy to take my time and wait.

I will wait for the man who sees my worth the first time

who sees my heart and understands my dark days

I will wait for the one who can see me on the days I can not see myself clearly

I will wait for the one who stays

No I will not be apart of your revolving door of women who you keep for just in case

I would rather wait

I would rather hold on to all the pieces of myself so that I can be whole and happy when I finally meet the person who was meant for me

You should go back to the one you fight so hard for

because we were never meant to be.

Always,
