Second Changes

I give too many second chances

I pretend that everything will be ok

That the relationship is worth it in the end

I feel the tension between us

The silence we once had

A silence that showed

We understand one another

But now a silence I feared for

A silence that shattered us

I knew something was happening

When people noticed

When people continued to associate you with me

I didn’t want to tell the truth

To tell them I was losing you

Or I left this friendship

We had.

I can’t see you

Because I sting more and more

And I relive it in nightmares about you

I tell me that things can change

But it’s not worth trying anymore

Sure, you would careless

If I came back in your life

And yes, I watch you be friends with my friends

Or I became friends, some people because of you

But done. I am done, hurting.

I’m done trying.
