HARSH REALITY

Folder: 
JOURNAL#2

surprisingly tonight he called

it's a wonder I hadn't broken down and bawled

it's been a few uneventful weeks

isn't it funny how quietly into my tight little

heart he so easily sneaks

I think I'm almost over him now

I never thought I would ever be

my swollen tender heart has stopped blocking my

essential oversight

so now I can nearly see

once again I feel like I'm about to be set free

but will his restless haunted soul let me be

Hopefully, he will cease his tireless infliction of

harsh remarks

and I'll no longer stand fully erect at the window

pretending to be fine when he pulls up on the lot

and  grudgingly parks

vengeful heart let's try not to pass each other's

treacherous  paths again

surely apart we could seperately win...........
