Accepting you are not loved anymore

 

Broken... 

I face my freedom with burning pain.

I cry alone, I’m going insane.

The sleepless nights and all the tears…

I need relief from all my fears…

I think about how many times

I overlooked the warning signs.

She stopped trying and we fell apart.

Now I sleep with a broken heart.

How do I cope without any hope?

That I will never hold her again?

How do I deal with how I feel

That she is no longer a part of us?

But then it comes, yet another day…

Each one hurts in a different way.

I lay awake and alone in my bed.

After another night of feeling dead.

I know I must learn to live once more.

To see what’s next instead of before.

I don’t know how or where to start.

I begin each day with a broken heart.

How do I cope without any hope

That I will ever touch her again?

How do I deal with how I feel

That she will never come back to me?

She puts me last, I still put her first.

She gets better, I keep getting worse.

I long to be like we were at the start.

Instead of living with a broken heart.

How much pain should I endure

Before she realizes how much I hurt?

How much pain will I endure

Before I realize she has closed her heart?

Yes, I am over it...but this was one of the first pieces written after that very painful breakup. She didn't try to change me...she just didn't try...she fell out of love.

Since this was written in 2010, I hope you have gotten over the pain and moved on. “She stopped trying…” Is a telling line. The idea that she should have “try” to love you leads me to believe that you had an unequal relationship where she “tried” to change you, but couldn't. It's okay, because adults have a hard time seeing that they need to change even when they really need to.
