Bad love

Danielle Cristiano 1988 (Kingston)



Sitting here alone
Staring at my phone
Praying you call and tell me it will be OK
Telling me you are coming back to me.
Why oh why did you leave?!
I thought we had it all
I loved you with my whole heart!
I gave you everything I had,
Shared secrets no one else heard.
You knew this would shatter my heart
Yet you just up and left
No explanation given, no time spent
Was it me? Something I did?
I just don't understand how love went bad

    Some will simply hurt you when they have nothing else to give you, it's in essence not to be forgotten
