Stronger Now

By ColorMeToxic

 
Just when I thought that
we were over
you did something sweet
to make me change my mind

I just needed you to say
that you love me
I just wanted you to say
I'm worth your time
~~~
every time I'd try to fix us
you would turn right
back and 
throw it in my face

because  you were too
into being selfish
to notice all the sadness
in this place
~~~
chance after chance
you took for granted
and I was building up 
a silent  hidden rage

night after night
I sat and planned it
the day that I would make
my last escape
~~~
I will not come back
this time, you broke us
and I finally had the strength
to walk away

it's been over a year now
since I left you
and you finally realize
how much you care
~~~
but it's just too late
to go back now
we can never travel
down that road again

and I hope that I find
someone new now
and I hope he treats me
better than you did

    wow beth, im sorry. this was heartfelt and sad. and i hope you find someone better at love. some people dont know what love is. and sometimes it takes a broken heart to find this out. when you look for love you cant find it. when you close your eyes to it, its right in front of you. thanks beth.
