You, My Hopeless Dream

Kind of a stream-of-consciousness? Bleh

You said

I always know

What to say,

So let me say this…

I am too strong

To let one man

Be so                       careless,

And break me.

                                        You were never mine…

I am so hidden

Inside of myself,

I’ve forgotten

How not to be            kind.

But you were my dream…

Let me say

That I am too

Tired…

To care if I                   bleed,

But have mercy…

I am fragile…

I am so far away

Inside my mind,

I thought I was unbreakable

For a                             while.

And then you came to me…

And let me say this…

That I forgot

Myself…

With a single                hope

That we could be…

But you were never mine.

You said

I always knew

What to say,

So let me say this…

I am broken,

But I will be fine…

And so I will let you go

Like the hopeless dream

You were meant to be…

Because this is the right thing to say,

Even

if

it

kills

me…

This is.. absolutely amazing. Also heartbreaking, it's unbelievable how much I can relate to this poem. I love how at just the beginning and just the end you put in the "you said i always knew what to say", and i don't know if the tense of the 'know'/'knew' was changed on purpose, but either way it makes it all the more heartbreaking to see how things have changed. Lovely write

Thank you so much! I don't know if I should be glad that this piece is relate-able, because it's sad. But I'm glad that you can understand it on a personal level I suppose
