Abandoned

by Tasha   Mar 31, 2020


I've been feeling unimportant,
No matter what I do they leave.
It's been my only constant
Still, I had my heart out on my sleeve.
I wonder if it's my fault?
What other explanation can there be?
I've watched my whole life crumble,
Every time they walk out on me.
I felt it when they left,
More lonesome when they stayed.
The heavy feeling in my chest,
All alone and so afraid.
Who will be the next one?
Is it better to push them all away?
Detach myself from the outcome,
Simply wishing they would stay.

    Thank you Tony and Poet on the Piano! It's been a while since I've written and it really did help to get the words out. I appreciate the kind words especially when it comes from great writers.

    A raw poem, as those questions of our worth and wondering if we drove them away, those thoughts can bury us. I resonated with the detachment part, because how often do we isolate and build those walls up so we can't experience hurt and disappointment.

    Hope it helped to write this out. Stay strong!
