Tidbits And Snippets

Heart and Soul

Ever been so invested in a relationship
It feels like you've given all you have into a lucky dip?
I put my heart and soul into everything I do
But somehow that wasn't enough for you

I've tried everything, time and time again
But my efforts are just as meaningless to you now as they were back then.
You'll laugh as each tear slides down my face
Again and again, you call me a disgrace

But now I realise I'm not the one at fault
Because it's you who enjoys one too many single malts
And while I know I have my flaws
At least this realisation allows me to walk away tall
For so many years, you made me feel so unimportant and small
Led me to believe that I deserved this treatment, that I was somehow less important than you
My newfound strength, confidence and self belief has shown me that this is not true

I tried my best to be what you wanted, I really did
But while I tried to change for you, the real me went and hid
Hid from prying eyes and judging glares
But despite all of this, you never cared.
So now I take your rejection as my final cue
I'm walking away because this time it's about me and not you

AN ~ double update! Go me! Anyway, I wrote this poem a while ago and after a lot of editing, I decided it'd be a good addition to Tidbits and Snippets so here we are! As I said in the last update, I hope you guys are enjoying my writing and feedback is always appreciated. This is me, signing off.
