Gone Forever

by Jada Andrews - Capricorn

There was a time I 
considered you my best friend.
I stood by your side when everyone
else told me not to.
I wouldn’t believe what they said
about you.
I saw something in you that 
I respected, 
admired,
and even loved.
Yes, there was a time when I loved you too.
But that time is gone.

The first two times you hurt me
I managed to forgive you,
and pull myself together,
but I can never forgive you for this.
And the sight of you breaks my heart 
over and over again.
How could you do this to me?
There was a time when I would have died for you
But that time is gone.

So I sit here alone again,
and this time you won’t be forgiven.
I have cried enough tears for you.
I’ve cried more about you 
then I’ve cried about anything in my life.
And now, I think I may
have finally cried my last.
There was a time I would have cried for you.
But that time is gone.

You may think you’re angry at me
for sharing my feelings,
but I can’t help how I feel.
And you say you are numb to me,
but frankly, my dear,
you are dead to me now.
There was a time when I loved you enough to forgive you 
for the pain you’ve caused me.
But that time is gone forever.
