Lost Causes
I decided today
I was in love.
My heart didn’t thump
Like a thousand drums,
And I could speak
As clearly as I always have.
My vision didn’t go blurry
Or my head feel light and faint.
I wasn’t overwhelmed
By a title wave of emotions.
And I didn’t decide this
With a passionate kiss,
A romantic love letter,
Or a tearful goodbye.
But when I told him
I hated him
And was sick of being with him,
He smiled and
Walked away,
As if I didn’t have anything
To hold him anyway.
It was like I had
Hurt myself more than
I had hurt him.
Maybe I loved him,
Maybe I still do.
Or maybe, just maybe,
I love lost causes.

awww. wow. I LOVE THIS!! honestly, like it is soooo great and i bet tons of people can relate. i always make the same mistake. i'm constantly screwing up relationships (not just romantic ones..but relationships in general) and i think i always do it because i'm the one afraid of getting hurt..then in the end, i'm the one hurting myself. it sucks:(
but i really enjoyed this. and you did any excellent job. LOVE the ending, and how you come to realize that maybe that IS what you love instead..lost causes. and i can admit it..im in love with lost causes..it's actually really difficult. ANYWAYS! i just wanted to comment on how when ever i read any of your work, the endings are always amazing:) like, the whole thing is wonderful but i HATE HATE HATE when i read someones work, and even if its sooo good, if the ending doesnt all come together, or something is missing, or i feel like the ending was just kinda..not important, then i don't appriciate the work as much. but i love (and notice in every piece of your work) how it always ties together perfectly:) GREAT JOB!!
wow i love this! awesome job!
