My heart has been closed and
in need of major repairs
since you walked out on me
without ever looking back
Did you not want to see the hurt
in my eyes or did you not
want to hear my cries as
I pleaded with you to stay?

Nothing was going to keep you here
You had already made up your mind
but I don't think you could foresee
how damaging your departure would be
My feelings had become unimportant to you
I became excess baggage
totally superfluous
no longer required

I felt like a crumb that had been
absently flicked onto the floor
only to be trampled on
and then swept away

My emotional scars will heal in time
but I remain determined
to become a stronger person
as I refuse to let love defeat me

So much love I have to give
but so carefully I will choose
as to where I plant my seeds of love
in order to reap the rewards and
receive the love I believe I deserve

I like this part.....the core of the hurt

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

SueTang~
And I enjoyed the tremendous resolve in the closing~

as to where I plant my seeds of love

It is wise to be careful about where you plant seeds of love. But don't forget another truth about love is the more you give, the more you receive. Protect your heart, but don't let it shut down.
I'm sorry you felt 'like excess baggage.'
No one deserves to feel like that.

Suetang~ My heart goes out to you sweet soul. You deserve better!

And what an inspiration you are...

"My emotional scars will heal in time
but I remain determined
to become a stronger person
as I refuse to let love defeat me

Feel better
