Poignant
I woke up with gumption, tearing off covers
To truth myself to you, writing more thoughts
That you can't stomach
Like candy too poignant.
You know, I
Believed your promises, again and again
To change yourself, to remember my preferences
To do such wonderful good, to help yourself
"To work on it."
But you don't realize how short you fell
On this pavement, and that you were not the one
Picking up the fragments, the feelings,
The utter hurt and broken heart of just...
Just a girl, loving a boy, unable to see through
His false to a half-man
Faltering under his own weight.
What I don't understand
Was why
You didn't just
Say
NO
or I can't
or I probably won't remember
or I'm just not good at that
or I'm sorry, I can't compromise
or I'll never fit that need
or just be honest with yourself
instead of saying "Of course."
"I'll try harder."
"I'll remember."
Because I took my heart and made it into a fist,
Pounding it on the table or into my pillows
Every night that a promise you made
Never showed up.
