I'll Go Back to the Start

poem/song about facing rejection

By CT IdlehousePublished about 3 hours ago 1 min read

I think I have my answer…

In your silence.

I wish I was stronger…

But I'm way too sensitive.

/

I’ve made things awkward…

Just couldn’t leave it all alone.

Feel like a broken record…

No one's blame but my own.

/

If I stole your peace,

I give it back with a sorry.

I step on my own feet,

And I speak too softly.

Loneliness does scary things,

And it breaks your own heart.

I’ll get it over it eventually,

And I’ll go back to the start.

/

It sucks to get so attached…

To idealizations and fantasies.

I’m just trying to fill a gap,

A chasm of emptiness and misery.

/

This was never even a thing

But an infatuation and obsession.

Let’s forget I said anything.

My burdens are not your problem.

/

If I stole your peace,

I give it back with a sorry.

I step on my own feet,

And I speak too softly.

Loneliness does scary things,

And it breaks your own heart.

I’ll get it over it eventually,

And I’ll go back to the start.

/

Yes, I'll shatter like all the times before.

Yes, I'll pick up every piece off the floor.

Know that I only did this to myself,

You're not to blame for my fragile shell.

I'd never want you to feel pressured or coerced.

/

If I stole your peace,

I give it back with a sorry.

I step on my own feet,

And I speak too softly.

Loneliness does scary things,

And it breaks your own heart.

I’ll get it over it eventually,

And I’ll go back to the start.

    I sent these exact sentiments to my ex this Saturday before finally blocking him and unfriending him on all social media.
