Do I give up?

mwrites

Do I give up? On us, on what we were, on what we could be?

 

You made me feel so safe, so warm, so happy. 

I felt sheltered from any pain the outside world could cause.

You said you didn’t want serious, you didn’t want to be in a position where you could cause me pain. How ironic that by not wanting to put me in harm’s way I still cry over you. I still long for your embrace. I still think of you, and silently, hope.

Am I being blind sighted by your words? You tell me you have feelings for me, that you’re happy with me, that you don’t want to lose me. You tell me you miss me, you think of me, you can’t stay away. Is this true? Or are you just playing me? Are my feelings keeping me from the truth?

You call me up drunk and claim you’re lost - you want me, but you don’t want a relationship. We talk for hours on end, spend days in each other’s arms. Do you actually want me? Or just the warm feeling of having someone to call your own?

 

I need to know, do I give up on us? On what we were, on what we could be?

 

Am I wasting my time believing you when you tell me you like me? Am i just fooling myself when I think we have a chance? Am I being irrational when I imagine what my life would be like with you to call mine?

Given a chance we might be great - or maybe it’s just that I’m not worth the risk.

 

Should I give up? On us, on what we were, on what we could have been?

  • BRIAN & ANGELA

    THANKS "M" for a beautifully penned poem - but the content is so so frustrating. It is a "Love Poem" but it is unrequited love. When a read such a poem from a Lovely Lady frustrated by an Unfeeling Man it sometimes makes me feel ashamed of my masculinity. I am a Gentleman and always love and cherish my Ladies. Thanks for sharing such a painful story. Thinking of you and yes - You should give up and find a new Man who is worthy of you ! Yours BRIAN

    Honey you are wasting you time. He doesn't deserve your love. If he really wanted you he would have Never said he doesn't want a relationship. I don't to sounds cruel but the facts is he just doesn't want it with you. Cont sale yourself short. Only give your love to a man that is deserving of your heart because in the end it will only break you down. Know your own worth. He is NOT worthy.
