No longer blindfolded
by your antics,
or your words that never rang true.
I’m free of the hold you had on me.
But now what is there for me to do?
I have to reacclimatize to this new life.
A life without you.
I’ve loved you,
much more than I’ve loved myself.
And you see, that’s the problem.
You’re the only thing I’ve ever known.
I was weak for you,
I had no idea how to be strong.
Not even an inkling.
And when this boat went down,
you abandoned ship, even if it meant
leaving me sinking.
And I still took you back,
what the fuck was I thinking?
I should have gave myself more credit.
My mama raised me better than that.
I’m knowledgeable of most things,
but I was an idiot, who fell for your traps.
Love is a gamble,
and I truly thought that I was winning.
And the hand that we were dealt,
I never saw the ending.
So tell me, are we lovers or losers?
Because this game has gotten old.
I’ve finally mustered up the courage to leave.
Quite frankly, I’ve gotten bold.
It’s just taken me a long time to see.
We are losers, not lovers.
We were never meant to be.
– Poetic Gawdess
If you love because she has nice eyes or he has a great body your love is based on conditions.When conditions change lovers turn to losers.
Which are you?Be careful how you answer as it will reveal much about your nature.
😘 Another good write btw
True. I’ve never been one to base my love off of aesthetics alone, though they may be pleasing to the eyes it does not fulfill every need/desire. Also, looks don’t pay the bills! I’m a lover all day.. (I also like my man rugged with a dad bod😉) Thanks for the read and the comment! xx

Hello P.G. Love is tough and love usually is by the way the person looks at first. We want that outside beauty but tend to forget where the true love should lie and that’s within. Intriguing piece my friend. xo
True indeed, my friend. Thank you for reading! xx

Sometimes you want that love so badly because you’re a passionate person who needs to love. But even though you know better you can’t stop who you love but who doesn’t love you back.
The quotient of love plays games Sometimes. I always say go for love because when you get it right there’s nothing quite like it.
But you need to be strong if you have doubts and you were strong to finally realize that.
You didn’t win the love game but you’re not a loser because you chose to love yourself and make necessary changes ….
An amazing introspective wriite
BIG LIKE
