That Person

by Anna Van Neck aged 17

We all have weaknesses.
Whether it’s an object, a food, or a person…
But the thing is,
you can give in to objects,
you can give in to foods.
But that one person…
They can ruin you.
That person you want to hold on to during a stormy night, but they won’t be there.
No matter how much you wish they could be,
That person won’t come around.
It’s not because they can’t, it’s because they chose not to.
That person chose to drop you.
That person chose not to come back.
So stop Hoping. Stop Praying. Stop Lying to yourself.
That person will rip out your heart, and throw it back at you.
Even after they tell you they will keep it safe.
You feel crazy because that person…
You see that person everyday,
You have no choice.
And every time they smile at you, you can’t help feel weak at the knees.
That person controls your heart.
You won’t ever get it back.
That person made you a promise, that no matter what they would be there.
And when you actually need them…
They won’t be.
That person never will be.
That person won’t hold you,
That person is gone.
But, they are still your weakness…
And you will give in,
You already have…
