Show me you understand!

Let me tell you what’s been going on.

A while back I told my ex girlfriend that she should stop calling me because I didn't want to be friends, and that virtually we never really were.

This of course was a lie. I said this so that she would leave me be and find something new for herself. And a little selfishly so, I did it so I would get over her.

I failed.

I know realize that she is the only reason for me to live.

Write a poem that shows me you understand the love, the pain, the heartache, the sadness, and the utter confusion I am going through.

Need more clarification? http://allpoetry.com/poem/3276674

All forms of poetry will be accepted, but read some of my poems to see what I like. I will be judging this so basically what I like will win.


~:UPDATE:~
Pre-writes now allowed! But they must apply to situation

    Too bad, I have the perfect prewritten poem for this contest- well it is exactly what I was going through when I wrote it about my friend, who had hurt me, and I loved her so much, but didn't know how to forgive her. I wish you well!
