The Grudge

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

I remember that phone call

when you shattered my hopes.

 

I had talked to my friends

of how I thought I had met my one.

 

And then just like that,

my dreams were destroyed.

 

A future I created in my head

on all my sleepless nights...gone.

 

Your rejection led to my downfall,

and I'm still paying for my mistakes. 

 

For years I lived in confusion

as to why I wasn't enough for you.

 

I'm sure I didn't cross your mind

while I couldn't get past the heartbreak. 

 

I remember every detail of you,

while you can't remeber a single one.

 

I have tried forgiving you but 

that pain runs deeper than I realized.

 

It's true hurt people hurt people,

but our scars are not the same.

 

I can't help this grudge I still hold

and how you led me on, to watch me fall.
