THIS IS NOT A DREAM

Gloria Denise

You can wake up now?

No, none of that happened…

None of it is true

You can want it forever

But they’re not coming back for you

 

he never gave you those violets

just because it’s Tuesday

you didn’t take that trip to Cabo

he didn’t even call to see if you made it home, okay

 

You can delete all the pictures

But, you can’t remove him from your mind

He’ll haunt you crazy

While you try to pass the time

 

You can’t get his scent off your clothes

Even Gain can’t mask that feeling of alone

Delete your playlist, he’s ruined all your favorite songs

the words will hit your heart all wrong

 

See how he ruined you

I don’t know if there will be a next

Tell me was it love

Or did he just have something to prove

 

Is this just confusion?

He says: Tell me how have you been handling the self-inflicted delusions?

Just because we can’t see your heart,

That doesn’t mean there aren’t scars.

 

You try to hide from me

But I see you clear

How quickly did you pull away?

When anyone shows a sign that they might care?

 

It won’t always be this way

It won’t always be this hard

One day you’ll wake up

and healing is never too far

    thank you for writing this nice to see the other side of the pain. Being a man, your point of view is meaningful.
    have this as a favorite.
    makes me think of my ex and her side of things.

    The dissonance between one who cares and another who doesn't is a difficult chasm to cross. Nicely written
