Without a Past

I wish I’d never told you

That I hadn’t let you see

All the different layers

That made me…me.

You’ve got no right  in knowing

Who I am at 2am

I want my secrets back now

I pray and say Amen.

I feel parts of me are lost

Puzzle pieces that can’t be found

You were putting me together

Then you turned me upside down.

Every time you said you loved me

I believed it more and more

I put all my faith in you

And you walked right out the door.

True love doesn’t do that

It watches your back

Stays the course through it all

Preventing attacks

Shame on you For opening me

Then not sticking around

Leaving me in this dismal place

I hope I’m never found.

You’re the worst of the worst

For doing this to me

Never again will I show

My vulnerability.

You were the one

That was going to prove me wrong

On lessons I had learned of love

Seems I was right all along.

You took the cowards way out

Made me adore you and then

When I trusted you with me

You dropped me in the end.

So everything you held against me

Look closely at them now

You did the exact same thing

Maybe now you’ll figure out

My hesitations were on love

They never were on you

You proved me right on everything

That I already knew.

True love is just a myth

Commitment only lasts

If you fit into their box

And come without a past.

I’ve always been a deep thinker. Superficial, mediocre conversations will never do. I want the raw, bone deep, authentic version of people. I’ve always expressed myself through writing. The only talent I possess is being able to articulate emotions through written expressions. Strangers comment on how my writing has helped them to realize that they are not alone. They find comfort in knowing that someone out there not only understands, but can put into words, what they feel. I’m an INFJ-E
