Poetry: Broken dreams

by Skyra

Created on: May 21, 2009

Am I just not good enough anymore?

Or are you really not who I thought you were?

I miss who you were

I miss what we had

Through good times and bad

For better or worse, right?

I don't know anymore

I don't know anything anymore

Is there even a point?

Or is everything just meant to be chaos?

What happened to the romance there was?

Why is it just now in spurts and those are short?

Is everything else really so much more important than us?

I feel like I'm nothing but a burden.

Sometimes I feel you're happy we're here

Sometimes I don't.

I don't feel I belong here anymore.

And I don't know the reason why things are so very different.

I didn't want to feel like this.

I didn't want to hurt.

I didn't want to always be the problem...

I know I always am.

I don't know if it's a trust thing

Or just the whole thing

Inadequate

That's how I feel

In love, in marriage, in motherhood

In business, in writing, in everything

It doesn't make sense but it's there

I feel controlled and yet at the same time...

I feel unwanted.

Alone.

Forgotten.

So is this love?
