Snippets

Hopeless

I looked at your photos
And I melted
I remembered your smiles
And your laughters
I remembered your husky voice
There's a level of sexiness
I couldn't ignore

I remembered us talking
Day and night
Miles and miles apart
I remembered our plans
I remembered us telling each other
Intimate details of our pasts
The ugly truths of the present

I remembered how your words
Got me hook, line, and sinker
Only to find them empty promises
And empty words and empty laughs

You humored me
Was it out of pity?
Disgust or shame?
Did you pretend to like me for me?
Were you pretending all along?

Yet if you only called me
And explained why you went
The way you went
I would forgive you in a heartbeat
Faster than "I forgive you"

I was that willing to give in
Because I remembered the way
You managed to make a mark
Because I have been longing
For that one thing you gave me
Acceptance

But now you took it away with you too
