A Series of Short Poems and Thoughts

1.

You wait…

You wait for people to change.

But, people don’t change.

Not if they don’t want to.

Learn to read the signs.

Save your energy

For someone who deserves it.

2.

When you had enough,

you will know.

You will know when to move on.

You will know when you are done fighting.

You will know it wasn’t you.

You tried everything,

but it wasn’t you.

You can’t keep those who don’t want to stay.

3.

And I left…

With the thought he would

come after me.

But he never did.

I was nothing to him.

He let me go, as if our time

together meant nothing to him.

So, I knew then,

what I know now.

He was never mine to keep.

4.

Someone who comes back,

will stay and fight for you.

They will always fight for you,

if, they see you in their future.

Anyone who gives up the fight

they weren’t worth fighting for.

Walk away.

5.

So, it takes years I’ve heard…

To forget someone you loved

for a long time.

It takes, however, seconds

to make a decision.

The decision of letting go.

Of moving on.

Of letting yourself free.

6.

Observe people.

Their words and actions will make sense

when they are genuine.

When the two don’t match up,

they are letting you know

their true colours.

Observe.

Be ready.

7.

Promises…

Broken ones.

Never really fulfilled ones.

“I will make it up to you”

kind of promises are the worst.

They can really break you,

because they give you hope.

False hope.

They never really make it up to you.

8.

I might be broken right now.

I might be falling apart.

Make no mistake,

I will get up.

9.

My tears will dry.

The hurt you have given me

will be healed with time.

Cause, time heals all wounds.

Every damage my soul has been through

will slowly heal.

And I might never be the same again,

but the lesson will be learned.

That, not everyone who leaves

will return.

10.

You have given me a lot…

Pain

Mystery

Love

Hope

I shall keep the pain

to remind me that

everything else

was false.

to be continued …
