wasted on you. #poetry

Posted on 5 September 2017 by what sandra thinks

I don’t want to talk
if you’re not going to listen
My words are wasted
on you

I don’t want to try
If you don’t care enough
My strength is wasted
on you

I don’t want to love
if you’re never there for me
My heart is wasted
on you

About what sandra thinks

Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

    Mistress of Darkness you may be, but it’s a damn fine poem nevertheless.
    Hugs.🤗

    We invest so much of ourselves into people who aren’t worth it. Thanks for sharing! Lovely.
