The Proposal

"I just want to die"

I confess,

As my heart races,

I feel empty inside without you.

Be by my side.

I promise I won't ever want you to

Walk away.

I drop to one knee as you

Probably already knew that..

I was scared.

I could see the look in your eyes

As you laughed.

And you didn't say anything

"I love you"

My heart sunk into my chest when I said

Those words.

I wish I would've never said

I was never enough for you in the past.

I could tell how

Something in you just changed after those words.

I see that

I'm enough now.

You tricked me into believing

You're walking away from me.

Happy with you again.

As she said "Yes" I will never be

Leaving. I finally see the truth.

She's

The absolute love of my life.

But...I have a confession... this isn't how the story really went. Read it again. But this time, read it starting from the bottom to the top. When you're done, unblock this: >! The heartbreak that comes with losing the only person you care about in life is absolutely devastating - this is how I feel every single day. If you're wondering - yes - it is a true story. I fell in love with someone, said "I love you", got laughed at and then left alone without so much as another thought. This happened months ago and I still don't know how to cope with this.. so I made this poem to release some of my thoughts. The initial read from top to bottom is a reflection of how I thought our story was going to go; the read from bottom to top is what actually happened as you see how the truth was secretly hidden in plain sight the whole time...masked away until it was finally, suddenly, revealed, much like how it really happened. I know the wording and punctuation isn't perfect by any means, but I hope you still understand the meaning - it's really hard to do in this format but I tried my best. Enjoy. !<
