There comes a time when you give up,                

Because you’ve had enough.

Positive thoughts no longer work

And emotions can’t be stuffed.

The heart can only take so much

Until it breaks in two,

And mending is impossible

No matter what you do.

You think they will come around

And be like they once were,

But hurtful actions that they do

Cause heartaches to occur.

Love needs lots of nourishment,

Attention, and respect.

It grows with time and thoughtfulness

And the absence of neglect.

Even when you want to try,

You need to walk away,

Before you lose your dignity,

And self-respect one day.
