I’m still here
Even though you broke my heart
I’m still alive
Even though I don’t know my part
And I don’t want to be this way
But I will fight that fear
‘Cause I’ve still got a chance
As long as I’m still here
And, yeah, I still cry
Even though it’s already said and done
And I’m still missing you
Even though I’m with another one
But I gave you all of myself
So I’ve got nothing left for him
Even though I keep trying
I can’t let him in
Did you know that I’m still here?
And that I always will be
Did you know I’m still here?
‘Cause I think you forgot about me
I know I told you not to call
I told you not to keep in touch
I thought if you were outta my life
I wouldn’t think about you so much
But I still miss you all the time
And you’re still not here
I can’t let you go
Even though you’re nowhere near
You’ll never be mine
You might think that tha’d be clear
But I can’t make myself understand it
Or understand why I’m still here

But I gave you all of myself
So I’ve got nothing left for him
Even though I keep trying
I can’t let him in
I know I told you not to call
I told you not to keep in touch
I thought if you were outta my life
I wouldn’t think about you so much

Thanks so much! I'm sorry it made you sad, but I'm glad it stirred that emotion. That's why I wrote it, because I felt that way and it's nice to know that it let someone else know how I felt. And thanks for the encouragement. I hope you're having fun with your contest. I'm hoping to have my own contest soon, it'll be my first! Take care and thanks again!!

Very puzzling - why you are stilll here - when you question yourself then you are in turmoil - good write.
-
What an incredible job. I'm at such a loss of words... 
.
Did you know that I’m still here?
And that I always will be
Gave me chills when you turned this around into a question. I'm really quite impressed with the flow of this poem - I can't say that for most here on AP. I could easily see something like this put to music... All of the simply repetition here and there to add emotional value... A stunning job! Really, keep this up. I'm blown away.
(By the way, if you were interested in that CD, check out my userpage for instructions on what to do).
Carry on!

You rock!!! and I have never been so impressed with someone's work in my life!!! Your word speaks as if you are me!! speaking words that makes me feel, you understand my screams... My tears, my dreams... I tried to write in my poem I hate you, the feelings of this poem... But I was to depressed at the time to even feel what my heart wanted to scream.... Thank you 4 being you!!! because you are truely amazing!!!!!

Wow! I came to reply to your comment to me but was attracted to the name of this poem. When I read it, it pulled on my heart. It was so right and like the first comment, this couldve been my own words. Ive been through the same. Actually thought I was crazy for still missing that someone. But it helps knowing that other people feel this way too (although it sucks they have to suffer through it). Anyways, so im interested, how long has it been that you still think of him? For me its been 5 years since I saw mine.

Wow, to be able to express exactly how so many feel, how amazing. And to do it in such a beatiful way! My favorite part:
"But I gave you all of myself so there's nothing left for him even though I keep trying I cant let him in" I think that's been everyone's question for so long.. how do you give your heart when it's no longer yours to give? Great job! -
Wow I feel this way so badly...I still love my exboyfriend raymond even though he's probably moved on, I'll always love him no matter what guy I am with...Its funny you know because every guy that I've tried to go on a date with I compare to him
Great write and God Bless you this Christmas. -
You have said just how i feel .Terrific write
-
What a great way to express your true feelings, and I like others who have commented here, are feeling your pain. There is much to be said about being drained by someone so bad that there is nothing left, great description!
-
Very good write. I can relate to this poem very much as well as other people (like the person above said). Keep writing you have something speical and that something is amazing.

Well Writen
I think many people have gone though the same thing. Trying to push someone away so you can move on and that same someone seems to try to do the same. But it's really hard to move because it means all those good times the two of you shared are over. Your poem depicts this struggle well. I enjoyed reading it. Keep writing your a beautiful poet.

So sad I nearly cried... In a perfectly good way. This means you are a very talented poet to be able to put such strong feelings into words like this, and to make others experience your thoughts as they read. "I know I told you not to call, I told you not to keep in touch, I thought if you were outta my life, I wouldn’t think about you so much", my favourite part. The rhyme and rhythm is perfect. The rhyming all through the poem is great too. Keep penning.

Exactly how I feel at the moment, but time heals all and there will come a day when you wont be haunted by thoughts of him. It hasnt happened for me yet, so I too can relate, but it will, I know it will, each day will be easier and easier. If not, well then we're both in alot of trouble! Take care always and keep writing!
-
This could have been my own words! I so understand this piece; can so relate. I guarantee, though, that one day you will wake up and you won't even remember who "he" was that you couldn't get over. I pray that day comes for you soon! This is such a true to life piece and I thank you so very much for sharing it! Well done!
