Empty Miles and Shallow Hearts
So much and so little in return
I've been over empty miles tonight
As the echoes of what could have been
Disappeared from my sight.
The subtle signs I should have seen
The marks of things not right
If only I had seen your shallow heart.
♥️💙💗♥️💙💗
I walked your road, I took it slow
I gave nothing but respect
So many times I hoped they'd show.
How much I wanted to connect
But your shallow heart began to show
My attention had the opposite effect.
♥️💙💗♥️💙💗
So many times I hoped you’d find
Solace from my comfort and care.
And now I see I was just blind
There was no love in there.
You chewed me up and left me there
I didn’t ever think you’d be that unkind.
♥️💙💗♥️💙💗
You turned away and closed your heart
You had other things to explore.
You left me here to break apart
Nothing to do with me anymore.
Empty miles left from your shallow heart
Like all the times before.
♥️💙💗♥️💙💗
Till next time,
Calvin

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Vividly captures the heart ache and break. I hope time can ease the pain.
Your voice feels sincere and grounded, the hurt is expressed without bitterness, which gives it strength.
