At the End of Every Story

A poem about how I'm feeling trapped in my relationship.

You break my heart everyday

My feelings, I fear; gone away

As you lay there unappreciative

Your demeanor sad; last kiss

Days counted spent in the abyss

Dying emotions in which I remiss

Months will be long before it ends

This facade I cannot pretend

As your soul fades; faked smile

For every ill-traveled; fated mile

 

You've not broken me I'm just done

Count the days before im on the run

Never will I live this lie once more

As I head for the hills and out the door

I'm so tired but I keep my head up

As my life will go on hopefully without you

As you have made my heart bleed true

 

Now as you pass time in a stupor

Giving into this depression again

Know my body yearns for more

With every story there comes an end

This tragedy we call our romance

Will conclude with my own happiness

As we share our last forlorn dance

One in which you don't participate

Like all that affection unreciprocated

 

Before I slam this book shut and such

Know that I'm a hero for standing alone

Without you to know and unfaithfully trust

It'll be finally one happy family home

One which has me and no one else

To share in all my pain that you caused

With all your inactivity; it will be your loss

As even the time I took to write this

Was more than you ever put in our relationship
