Straight From My Heart

The moonlight streams through my window,
and I lay here in the dark,
unable to sleep.
I wrap a blanket around my shoulders,
remembering your embrace,
how we used to hold each other close,
promising never to let go.
Yet life never goes as planned and we drifted apart,
the bitter ending leaving us hurt and in fear.
For a time,
I felt nothing but pure hatred towards you,
but as I spiraled down into depression,
I couldn’t deny that I still cared.

One night,
broken,crying,and torn apart,
I sought your help;
you would understand.
And I found that you’d moved on,
when I had merely fooled myself into thinking that I had.
I couldn’t breath,
it didn’t make sense;
how could you love us both?
Your decision won’t be rushed,
take all the time you need.
I have never wanted you more,
needed you more,
loved you more,
than I do now.
I won’t tell you to love me if it isn’t what you want,
but just know that these words come straight from my heart.
