Disillusionment

 You pour your heart out to somebody taking the risk nobody else is willing to take and then with the blink of an eye they completely shut you out. You're unable to snap back to reality because you're so wrapped up in them. You sit there staring aimlessly at your phone with the hope that maybe, just maybe if you stare long enough the message will get sent to you sooner. Lets face it, you're throwing yourself out on a limb here and he/she is unable to acknowledge/appreciate it.This applies to relationships as a whole, not just intimate. Why is it that the people that you care about the most tend to hurt you the most? Oh, the irony. Men and Women complain about wanting the perfect guy, but once they have him/her they're unable to appreciate them & they usually wind up with someone that takes them for granted. What a happy ending! NOT! As I'm getting older, I'm opening up my eyes and really starting to see the true colors I once wasn't able to see. I guess the oh so cliche saying of "Life gets harder the older you get", is indeed true. As my days drag on, it has come to my attention that it doesn't matter what corner I turn or where I go; people will STILL continue to upset and or disappoint me. I've let my guard down one too many times and I promise this will be the last time I will. The memories still continue to remind of the good days, but relying on them to fill your void just doesn't cut it.This world is full of disillusionment and that's a known fact.
