I believed A Poem | A Poem | Melissa Grant
Who could have thought
That after so many years
My heart would be freed
From you?
I still call your name
Every morning
You hypnotised me
You kept me waiting
For what you could
Not give me.
I chose to wait.
I chose to wait
It didnt make sense
I waited
Against all odds
For you.
You never saw me
You never came through
I am free now.
I think I am free now
To love again
To breathe again
To search again
Never again would I measure
My future by my past.
I thought it was love
It made my blood rush
It made me sick
It took me to the highest heavens
It enslaved me
It took me to places
I don’t want to return to that place
Where you ruled
My every waking moment
You broke my heart
It hurt so much
I believed a lie
You sold me a lie
It was obvious to all
Except me
Nah, it wont happen again
Dusting off my shoulders
I move on.
To hope
To new dreams
To a fresh start
To a new life
To love
To the promise of tomorrow.
I am glad it is over
My future is worth more
Than you can ever offer
I believed a lie
I can see through
It.
Now.
