Things unsaid

Dear love

Dear Love,
You are the thing I wish I could find true
You are the thing that keeps me going
You are the promise that we are all given
Also the one that is broken
But you are also the lie that we are all told
You are the reason for my tear stained pillow
My tired eyes
My bruised thighs
My late nights thinking, wondering, hoping
Wanting
You are the reason I can't think straight
The reason I talk to people in the halls
Dress nicely
Smile at strangers
You've done so much right
But also so much wrong
You have broken me. Even if momentarily.
Eventually I can forgive
But I will never forget
So My dear love, I beg you
Leave me be.
Forget
Move on
Whatever you want to call it.
Just leave ME out of it
I need to gather all of my pieces
