When I reached out…
My hand touched nothing….
My time to fall…
Has finally come…
I’m not surprised…
It’s been expected…
I knew you’d be…
The one to run…
You used to tell me…
Not to trust you…
The very thing…
I came to do…
No one to blame…
For things that happened…
When all along…
You told the truth…
I brought this on…
By being stupid…
Invited trouble…
To step inside…
Invade my heart…
Discard my feelings…
Leave me lonely..
No peace of mind…
I’m still amazed…
There won’t be answers…
To questions burning…
In my thoughts….
I need your love…
But don’t expect it…
I’m not the one…
Your thinking of…
The final pain…
Isn’t who you’ll be with…
The ache subsides…
The need will fade….
But reaching out…
And finding nothing…
Can’t be erased…
And can’t be saved…

can you please put the quote prompt in the author notes. this is an amazing write... the last few lines pack quite a punch, you have taken the prompt and twisted it to speak of something that haunts 'most everyone. well done and best of luck. xx
