Why Only A Season Poem by Kristi Wilkinson

Spent the last 8 months
Trying to love you,
Giving you all I had.
Trying to calm the fear inside me,
Of the trust I didn’t have.

I devoted a love to you
I never let anyone see.
Telling myself it would be all right
Surely you would never hurt me.

I shared all my secrets
and feelings too,
How was I to know
I couldn’t trust you

You said that your kids came first
So you left and took all my heart
Left me in a heap of tears
Im still falling apart

You took all my pride and reason
Makes me wonder why you
Came into my life
For only a season
