Daily Prompt: Control

Control something we all want to be

when it comes to every part of our life.

We want to be able to control our emotions so

others don’t see our weakness.

Our control the things in our life we know we

can.

We want to keep it all under control so that it

doesn’t fall apart and life becomes so much harder.

We want the control more than we want other things in our life

sometimes.

But, maybe sometimes having control isn’t always the most important things in life.

All alone

I sit here thinking about the things that I no longer have

and how maybe it’s for the best.

As the smile begins to grow even wider on my face  today

as today is the first day.

That my first thought wasn’t about you and no tears fall anymore from my eyes for you.

I don’t miss you anymore and I don’t feel the emptiness in my heart where you used to be.

That spot has been filled and I smile now and realizing I had wasted so much time thinking I couldn’t do this without you.

And now I am and I’m proud of me and I don’t mind being all alone now.

Feeling

so much that my heart is breaking as

I see it all crashing down.

No matter how much time I try to put in between me and you

the end result is not going to look good for us.

I know the pain is eating me up inside but I just can’t bring myself

to say the final goodbye.

I don’t want to put a day or time on when my world will fall apart

I can already feel the tears falling down my face and my heart just turning

so cold and me becoming the shadow of who I used to be.

My smile becoming harder to fake as life throws me nothing but curves my way

I try to gain more strength and be strong and not fall apart this time but it’s not working out that way.

But, I just don’t know what to say to you and yet I know soon we are going to fade from each other life and maybe this time we won’t get a third chance to connect again.

All I know is I miss you and maybe things don’t have to end but talking just doesn’t seem like something we will be doing soon.
