Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

I’VE MADE A SAD DECISION

I’ve come to this conclusion
Sad, maybe so, but necessary
In giving my heart freedom in
Putting forth more love for thee

I’ve realized my worth is more
Than what little or nothing sent
From insensitive excuses for
What was your reasons’ intent

I’ve been told personal things
Of life before the ‘Nam war and
Events, included other happenings
Wonderments no longer withstand

I’ve traveled a similar road a lot
And hurt deeply from what I give
Whatever your excuses you’ve got
Are just that; I stop pain and live

I’ve tried in different ways for you
Only one occasion you’ve opened
Up and let me in your world too
A brief, shiny moment glistened

I’ve decided it’s time to just go on
Without those feelings I’ve kept
Waiting and hoping, now I’m done
Wishing for you is what I’ve wept
