Favorite Quote:
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities. - Dr.Suess

Your empty promises fill the air
How could you expect me to stand idly by?
I'm hurt by your endless lies
Why do I still stand awaiting by your side
You've hurt me so bad, and I can't continue.
So leave me be
You've done more than enough
So this is it
I'm done with this endless wait
I've made up your mind
And now I'm gone
I'm free.

The author's comments:
My "love interest" was playing around with me and another girl. He told me that he would come up with a decision soon, so I waited months before I got tired of his games and left him. I hope this shows how girls feelings (and guys too) are not something to meddle with and that if you are in a similar situation, then leaving can always help you.
