A Hopeful Heartbreak-Poem.
I wish you would’ve just told me the hurtful truth.
Instead of leaving my heart left to assume.
With everything else that happened, it’s fair to say that my heart had been through enough.
So I expected there to be solid hope for the both of us.
I even waited for you to come back.
And prayed for you.
Because of the common decency that you lacked.
As I held on to the idea of what we could have.
Believing with my entire being that we could triumph anything bad.
Because the truth is, we already have.
But history always repeats itself, I should have known that.
Maybe I wouldn’t have fed the image of hope inside of my mind.
If you would have been able to tell me that you weren’t coming back to me this time.
Or maybe the words you whispered before you left eased my broken smile.
As my heart shattered into a million pieces, your hopeful words made the heartbreak worthwhile.
And I believed that you meant it.
Even though it was the first and last time you ever said it.
Instead of leaving my heart left to assume.
With everything else that happened, it’s fair to say that my heart had been through enough.
So I expected there to be solid hope for the both of us.
I even waited for you to come back.
And prayed for you.

Or maybe the words you whispered before you left eased my broken smile.
As my heart shattered into a million pieces, your hopeful words made the heartbreak worthwhile.
And I believed that you meant it.
Even though it was the first and last time you ever said it.
Making my heart launch castles into the air.
During that agony, I still fantasized someday we’d get to share.
All of our dreams that we had conceived together.
That abruptly perished when I found out the atrocious truth of the matter.
And dreadful realization kicked in the moment I knew there was no residual hope.
You blindsided my heart to hate you enough to finally let you go.
Yet somehow after all that I still have hope.
Hope for myself as I watch my blossoms grow.
Watering down the greener grass I planted with hope you’d bestow.
I found myself across the field standing amongst the wildflowers who told me that my beautiful smile glowed.
I sit and admire the sunset down on that forsaken land.
With grace in my heart, me, myself and the wildflowers stand.
Thankful for all that I’ve learned on life’s journey with him.
I decided it’s time to hang my hat on all of the bitterness that I held in.
Thinking, our dreams don’t always coincide with our destinations.
But the journey teaches us how to compel better preferences.
And after everything that’s happened I don’t blame you anymore.
I know now that everything that happens in life is meticulously conformed.
