Sometimes Im almost afraid
afraid it'll happen once more
That I won't escape it
It will follow me around
That curse of betrayal
The wound of being left
That you, like he,
will just leave me,
leave me alone
leave without a word
without a second thought
Sometimes I fear
you will do just the same
But then I'm reminded
of the heartache
and I realize
I don't care at all
What he once did
made him unworthy of
my while. of me.
If you did the same,
you would be as he
But this time i know
You're not the same
Neither is my heart
so gullible as before
I'm cold at the thought
but only cold to hurt
to the chance of pain
Not to the opportunity
to love, to feel
to cherish
to hold you near
Is it so wrong to say
I don't care that you go,
I only care that you stay?

That's quite a sentiment. It's natural to hurt when someone you love doesn't love you, and especially when they betray your feelings. You're right, though; those who would or could do that to you don't deserve your tears.
Thanks Stephen! Thankfully these are only the dregs of a bygone emotion.
However, the yearnings for things I can't yet have are very current...
"Can't yet have" means you can have it at some point in the future, though. Hope, as they say, springs eternal (whatever that means *smiles*).
Too true! That's the best part, of course ;)
