You put on a brave face and deny, deny, deny,
Tell everyone you’re happy, that everything is fine
But when the lights go out and you’re all alone
You cry yourself to sleep and wonder what went wrong
Always been a believer on the existence of true love,
Yet somehow convinced it’s not something you can have
Worn your heart on your sleeve, felt the spark and the magic
Got caught up on the moment and fell in too deep
Woke up one day to find out he’s walked out the door,
No used waiting for he won’t be back at all
You can’t tell for sure if there was ever the two of you
For he never kissed you nor told you the words “I love you”
There’s no telling how long this love could last,
Or if your heart, you can once again trust,
Is this the part where you’re supposed to give up?
Or the part where you get up and keep up the fight?

That’s always the hard part — knowing whether it’s really over, or if you should stick with it and fight.
yes it is but at the end of the day, after your tears have dried it will be a lesson learned…:)
You express yourself beautifully! I vote to keep up the fight!
Thank you… and so I will…:)
like a pound of salt in a freshly scrapped scar, this piece of heartache…superb 🙂
Thank you so much jymiely…:)
Well that scar is healing hahaaha…:)
I have sebo de macho…
heartbreaking but so beautiful…Go with your instincts!
Super overwhelmed by people here in WordPress who really reads and bothers to give advices to a little girl like me…:)
Thank you david…:)
I will keep on fighting…:)
Oh, MY Goodness!!!! …we have all been there. I was blessed by my heart ache with a wonderful, loving, compassionate, and beautiful wife for 33 years now. I say “Keep Up The Fight”.
Really? You think I should?
He doesn’t return the feelings sadly,
and I haven’t heard from him since I told him how I feel about him…
So… Dunno now, any suggestions?
….I’m not trying to tell you what to do. But, I can tell you what I did when I was in your situation. I found another girl friend, after several months of emotional healing, and eventually got married. She turned out to be the love of my life!!! It was a hard decision that truly turned out to be a blessing. Take Care and God Bless!!!
Thank you for sharing your lovely story to me…:)
Consider me inspired and uplifted
I’m touched, but of course “where you get up and keep up the fight”
Even if the object of your affection doesn’t care?
I just mean, don’t let the object of your affection let you down.
Aaahhh… 🙂
I’m past that…:)
Thanks though,
loneliness was inevitable but doesn’t mean I have to live in it…:)
I’m sharing this with my daughter ,hope you don’t mind.
FLATTERED. Super.. Share away…:)
Hi My mom Indira shared this beautiful piece with me…
what a heart wrenching poetry..
loved the question you put up..no one but the person has to decide..how many time we thought its better to quit and then regretted if only had waited a few seconds more…but one thing for sure if someone doesnt value your presence and cherishes your heart…never keep fighting for that person..he will scar and wound your heart
Wow, nice to meet you, thanks for the compliment and Wow talented mother and daughter…:) Nice! Love it…:) Thanks for the advice too…:)
Nice writing once again.. keep up the fight! 🙂
Thank you…

I like this. I was struggling with this both today and yesterday. Is it really worth it? Or is it better for me just to walk away? I still don’t know, but this post did bring me peace. Thank you.
Thank you…:) i’m glad it did and just keep moving forward. Its the way to live…:)
