callousness

 

Copyright ©2017 Stephanie R Schubert

 

I feel betrayed,

abandoned.

Why you pursue everything,

with everyone else but me.

I am the only one,

to whom you say no.

What I would give, for yes,

a real kiss,

to feel the love,

we once we shared;

for you to come home,

ravenous for me, my heart, our love.

But that is all in the past.

All I feel from you now,

is your callousness.

I keep coming up short.

I keep finishing last.

I guess what we shared,

really is, finally part of the past.

I am last on your list,

of priority,

my love has become,

the minority.

Unless of course,

it’s you, who needs love,

support;

affection.

I see no future,

In this state that I am in.

It doesn’t matter what.....

I do,

I can never win.

So yesterday,

I threw away everything,

and soon I will be ready,

to start all over again.
