Always Waiting… (poem)

Always Waiting...


I'm always waiting
for you

but you never
arrive

just as well
you see

I don't deserve
love

certainly not
from you

I'll sabotage
anything

left between
us, so

you're better
to stay away

the damaged and
the broken

are loners by
choice, yet

often wishing
we weren't

Sometimes I need to get these off my chest.

I hardly ever relate with literature as much as I did with this… Beautifully crafted 💯

So beautiful, heartbreaking, and powerful. Wow. You can feel the emotions and disenchantment.

Heart-breaking! Saving ourselves from more heart ache by keeping others away. 🙂

So sad, especially when they don’t feel good enough.
