No One Told Me

No One Told Me

Why am I still holding on?

Holding on to you like a rope.

No one told me that it would hurt this much,

No one told me that you will constantly be on my mind.

No one told me that I would lose sleep because of you,

Am I too blind?

Too blind to realize that you don’t really want me in your life.

I constantly feel that I am being used and taken for granted,

You throw me out when I am no longer useful.

My mind and heart is so tired,

My heart is shattered.

I need to put the pieces back together,

But, this time, I want to replace you with another.

I want our memories to fade,

I still love you, but not in that way.

I don’t hate you - not yesterday, not today, not even at all,

I must let you go, because you are not doing anything to make me stay.

No one told me what it’s like to let someone go,

Eventually I will move on.

It will take time, it will be slow,

What matters is, I finally let you go.
