Giving up on you

Nicole Pritchard

With every beat of this weak heart 

I feel like giving up on you 

The more that you ignore me 

The more I start taking two more steps 

Out that door 

I'm starting to slam shut 

In your face

When you don't see the pain

That you are causing me 

With all the neglect you are doing

Being hurt by the one person  

You saw a life with 

Who tears out your beating heart

With one swift motion 

It is in your hands 

Looking like a glob

Beating ever so weakly in your hands 

Showing how helpless my heart is 

It shows 

That with every step I take 

It is one more step away from you

But with your kind words 

You swoop back in 

Just to repeat 

The cycle all over again 

Gives me more strength

To finally

Give up on you 

You can't be the person 

I wanted you to be 

I am done 

I have to give up 

On all my dreams of you 

I have to give up 

So i can find me once again
