Someday

My heart is a broken mess splayed on the floor.
The signs were clear, yet taken with a grain of salt.
I wish it wasn't too late to turn the tables in our favor.
How the hell did we wind up like this?

This hurt is killing me inside, and I'm slowly fading away.
He begs me not to depart; leave my suitcases here and stay.
These pains are too much. It repeats like that of a broken record.
How the hell did we wind up like this?

Someday, at some point, I hope he'll make it right.
My only question to him: why not repair the damage now?
Same start, and same ending like that of a famous horror story.
How the hell did we wind up like this?

Never will I be saved from this dark pit I am trapped in.
Can a shattered heart ever heal, or will it remain broken?
He tells me it's alright, but yet our ending remains the same.
How the hell did we wind up like this?

Will you come to me if I call you? Will you hurry?
Ignorant and cold is what you are; that 'someday' to fix things, is done with.
Never again will I wonder when everything will be alright; it never will.
How the hell did we wind up like this?

    Thank you for your entry

    This is really intriguing. It shows how we can be left waiting and wondering, on the other end of emotions that we can't explain... we're the one's who suffer while we wait for an answer.

    Thank you for entering my contest and good luck

    I read it a few times and I'm like wow. This is so great. It captures the sadness and pain that I think "Someday" had in it.
