Consumed by a feeling of
Liberation from the well that
Was the feelings I possessed
Thought it would only get worse
Until I hit rock bottom and then
There was nowhere to go but up
As the feeling of emptiness lingered
I grazed the tips of my fingers
Along the wall looking for some
Sense of direction but I found that
I was only going around in circles
Letting my thoughts consume me
Every single time though I know
That I ought to have learnt by
Now that I’m wont to make the
Same mistake more than twice
Who’s going to pull me up this
Time when I fall because I have
Not been careful at all I allowed
Myself to sink into your eyes when
We first met and I should have known
Then that you would be far from
The person about who I’d write
A poem in an attempt to move on
I’m reliving the disgrace of
Breaking my own heart all
Over again because I wasn’t
Cautious enough to love me
As much as I loved you and
So I can’t even be mad at you
Because how could you have
Even known that my feelings
Though on display showed
Solely for you but you misread
Them and I didn’t even care
To correct the assumption
Because I was too busy living
In a bubble that every single
Look you gave me was a
Confession of sorts and so
Living in this pretend world
Where you were more than
Just my friend I allowed myself
To fall in love with the idea that
You knew what I meant and
Disregarding the warning signs
I broke my own heart instead
