Endure

I was so naive to believe that I could accomplish this. This is a poem about Strength in oneself.

Once upon a time I believed this was far from over
That I could somehow fight through all the resent
I somehow felt that it would change once I was older
Now I see my heart is just a shattered remnant

My devotion was rewarded with unyielding scorn
A seed of hatred that couldn’t make up the sum
Blossoming now, my frozen heart shall mourn
I will forever be destined to hate what you’ve become

A pain, the greatest I have ever felt, begins to unfold
I can feel it spreading throughout what is left of me
Encasing the heart I once knew, a permanent mould
It is through these tortured eyes I refuse to see

In the end, maybe I wasn’t in love with you afterall
Maybe it was just the thought of what you were
Nevertheless, the pain is powerful, the pain is raw
I love you, yet without you, I must, and will, endure

"In the end, maybe I wasn’t in love with you afterall
Maybe it was just the thought of what you were
Nevertheless, the pain is powerful, the pain is raw
I love you, yet without you, I must, and will, endure"

You capture something that everyone has felt at one point in time. How one is easily confused between love and lust and yet the consequences are the same. That even the most emotionally impervious person can succumb to the call of another heart be it true or hidden agenda. Good write.
