Moving On

It was like a dream come true
when you said that
you loved me too
I was on cloud nine
my world seemed to revolve around you
it felt like paradise
with you by my side

Things went like they were supposed to
and time passed by
But somehow I noticed
you weren't the same anymore
you'd talk to me sometimes
but never with a whole heart
and every time I spoke
you seemed to be distracted
and in a hurry to leave

Then one final day
it all stopped at once
you ignored me when i approached you
you missed all of my calls
and never replied when I text you
how was I supposed to make sense of anything at all
First I was really upset
With your sudden unpredictable change
it struck me right at the heart

I cried myself to sleep
wondering what I had done wrong
If I were not good enough
to be happy all at once
I thought time would erase the misunderstandings
and hoped everything would be alright
but you never changed the way you behaved
I was still like plague that you'd always avoid
I didn't understand what you had against me
you'd never take the time to sit and explain
that you didn't love me anymore
you left me there alone and hurt
blaming myself
for the wrong that you had done

Every time I came to apologize
for some mistake I had probably done
you'd turn your head away
like I was nothing at all
I didn't even know
why
I was apologizing to you
My heart was at stake
wishing the changing seasons would
wash all the painful memories away
hoping it would take TOO
all the bitterness away

Then one day it knew no bounds
Your acts of unneeded cruelty
were going over the board
Sometimes it's hard to believe
that all you had to do was ignore me
and my world came tumbling down
It destroyed my self -esteem
and everything I had in between
I blamed it on my luck
and called myself a freak
you influenced me so much
that I knew no boundaries

Then again
It struck me
What wrong had I done to deserve all this
to be treated like a nobody
All those words and days of love
seemed long said and forgotten
I was a fool to have believed
that we were coming through
that we were ever going to make it to the end
Putting on my self-pride
I held my head high
and decided it was time
that I moved on. . .

But I must say Thank You
For showing me What betrayal is
Thought it was the hard way
I learned my lesson the tough way
Life and Love are two things
That must go their own way
And i just need to move on. .
