Give me back my wasted time.

Part of a series of give me's

you don't look me in the eyes the way that you used to
and barely come around here anymore. 

though when you do,
it's holding tightly to the bitter resentment we share 

the one that said we both had to walk away from the fight
that neither of us wanted to lose. 

we loved us too much, 
but were never cut out to take it all the way. 

this is the last little piece of precious time you'll see me waste
on something that just won't work.

This struck a nerve. Been there: bittersweet love. Well written.

Sad..if only we had a guide book to help us pick the right one....how lucky some people are that they find and hold love.
Could taste your bitterness here.
Well written.

Thank you. I'm still dealing with the bad taste in my mouth that inspired this poem, but so love goes.
