Time

Forever an Illusion We Seek More Of

By Emily ValdezPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Your time is up, it’s over now.

You lost what you had if any all.

It’s okay to be afraid to fall.

He said "I'll be there to catch you," it wasn't a lie.

He meant it wholeheartedly at the time.

There was nothing to miss, nothing to lose.

But now it is time to pay your dues.

You hurt me, you know it’s true.

Don't try to fix it, I'm completely through.

I lock people out to keep myself whole.

It hurts less when you’re alone.

I was hurt one to many times.

Nothing seems just fine.

I tried so hard to keep that distance but

between you and me there is no such thing as resistance.

Being away just hurts me to say.

Nothing can be the same way.

Truthfully you know how I am,

you know me like the back of your hand.

What happened is over, it’s in the past.

I know it hurts, I may need you but this is just sad.

I may miss you now, today, or tomorrow but

I don't want to go back just yet. I ran out of time and need more.

About the Creator

Emily Valdez

Some of my posts are from when I was full of teen angst. I wrote mostly through the roller coaster of a relationship like all teens have at one point. Some other stuff is newer and less dark. Hope you give it all a chance. Happy reading.
