“Are you for keeps?”

I asked, feeling uncertain,

Wondering if you’d stay or draw the curtain.

You didn’t reply, leaving me in doubt,

But I needed clarity to figure it out.

I wanted to know if you’d be by my side,

But your silence made it hard to decide.

I asked again, hoping for a sign,

But you left me hanging, feeling not fine.

As days passed by, I felt weaker still,

Your silence echoing, a bitter pill.

I cried and pleaded for a simple reply,

But you kept me waiting, wondering why.

I held on tight, but I had to let go,

Even though my heart said no.

I just needed to know where we stand,

If you’d be there, holding my hand.

You gave me dreams, made me believe,

But now it’s hard to even breathe.

I’ll move forward, though it’s tough to do,

Knowing you couldn’t say you’d see it through
