You have always been there for me; at times you were all I had,
someone who shared my happiness and held me when I was sad.
But slowly you’ve turned into the sort of guy I most despise –
I’m torn between my love for you and your never-ending lies.
There was a time when you would never cheat – not even with me!
A time when you would have been the best boyfriend that you can be.
But now love’s gone from your vocabulary, although lust remains –
I’m torn between the love and hate that is coursing through my veins.
Once upon a time, you told me that I was The One for you,
and as I’m so naïve, I really believed that it was true.
But you don’t love me, only want me, and that’s what led to this –
I’m torn between fantastic sex and knowing that’s all it is.
Remember the good old days when we were friends and nothing more?
That was before I looked at you and saw what I’m looking for.
I thought that we could be “just friends” – but my God, I was a dunce!
I’m torn between a friendship and a love that only comes once.
It’s strange how the smallest thing you do can make or break my day,
you can drag my demons up or make them simply fade away.
I’m like a bloody rollercoaster; this really isn’t fair –
I’m torn between the happiness and the darkness of despair.
People at school have suspected us for just under three years,
now whispers that I’m shagging you have been reaching people’s ears.
Part of me wants to tell them all, although that may be uncouth –
I’m torn between denying rumors and blurting out the truth.
Let’s not forget I’m not the only girl you’ve been getting with,
they say that guys never stop, and you sure don’t dispel that myth.
You’re getting whipped and handcuffed – you’ve been getting all the fun!
I’m torn between this jealousy and laughing at all you’ve done.
I told you I was over you – problem is, you called my bluff,
so maybe I should accept that I’ll never be good enough.
I love you too much to leave; I love myself too much to stay…
I’m torn between my need for you and the need to walk away.

I got goosebumps reading this im glad i stumbled upon this one

"I love you too much to leave; I love myself too much to stay…
I’m torn between my need for you and the need to walk away."
Wow... This is just incredible. You rhymed well, had good rhythm. This is absolutely amazing. The emotions jump off the page as I imagined they jumped from the heart to the page first. I can relate to this so well. This is exactly what I was looking for. Congrats on the previous trophies and good luck in my contest!
♥AllYoullNeverHave -
Great poem but idk if this really fits my contest. I asked for poems of lost love, but this poem is more why you cant stay together, and love fading
-
First of all, congratulations on winning all thise shiny cups. This is really an excellent piece of poetry, and it was a pleasure to read. Best of luck in my contest, and thanks for entering.
-
Absolutely fantastic! I thought your previous poem was good! Oh my God! How she describes the ways he makes her so happy, but so sad/angry at the same time is fantastic! The flow and rhyming scheme were amazing! Well done!
-
nice rhyme and the subject matter is such that many can relate to. I certainly can. The rhyme and flow were great. Thank you for entering.
-
This is an excellent poem, i enjoyed every line, well done
-
Complete And Utter Emotion!!
It is a fantastic write, that's all I can say about it...love can make you feel a huge spectrum of emotions from the sweet overwhelming desire and love for someone to the darkest feelings of hate and despair...you combined all of them, creating an honest written statement of a woman traped in a problematic relationship...
wonderful job
take care

Wow. Now and again you read a poem that hits you between the eyes so hard as you read about your own life in every word. I don't know if you have used writers imagination here or if it is true but if it is true - run like hell away and give yourself another chance. Don't wake up one day finding yourself an old woman and your life thrown away, it took me that long to wake up. A very well constructed poem.

This poem rhymes but I hardly noticed it did, for so well you blended the words together. What you describe is what a lot of people have been through, so I am sure people reading this great poem will relate here in some way. Take care and good luck in this contest you've entered.
-
Wonderful poem, message was loud and clear, and the words fit right into place. Wonderful job.
-
It really is annoying to have that happen to you. But the good thing is you got a pretty awesome poem out of it. I liked the rhyme because it was pretty unnoticable. and i dont really like rhyme anyway. so great job and good luck in the contest!
-
Wow! This is excellent! The rhyme is almost unnoticable!! Fantastic job!! Wow so much to say...
You have always been there for me; at times you were all I had,
someone who shared my happiness and held me when I was sad.
But slowly you’ve turned into the sort of guy I most despise –
I’m torn between my love for you and your never-ending lies.
^^ sooo true. I've been there before, actually right now.. I relate so well.
It’s strange how the smallest thing you do can make or break my day,
you can drag my demons up or make them simply fade away.
I’m like a bloody rollercoaster; this really isn’t fair –
I’m torn between the happiness and the darkness of despair.
^^ my favorite lines. I've been here for 2 years now. This is how I live my life. I can relate to EVERY word written here... Amazing. Great job. Favorite lines by far.
Wonderful write. Thanks for entering,
Good luck in the contest :]
-
Your rhyme is superb. You've definitely got the hand for it. I also like your story-telling ability and your eloquence. I would have like to see a little more pain, though. For some reason when I read it, I didn't really get the momentum of emotion that this would entail. Maybe it's just me.
Best of luck and thanks for entering! -
stunning
this is just amazing made me shiver and feel sad. It really moved me there just isn't words you have so much talent I will read this time and time again thank you so much -
The last line made this poem powerful. But remember you have to help yourself before you can help anyone else. Thanks for the great read!
-
Excellent rhyming. Really makes me want to slap that ass upside his head though.
-
I really related to this poem, best way to get kudos from a judge ;P
The flow was great, choice of words-nearly flawless, and many of the phrases you chose to write were quite cleaver.
I commend you for this, you really should be proud of it!
Good luck.
-
AHH This is definitely the kind of poem I prefer...RHYME Thank you so much for entering in this contest. I felt so related to it. I feel that way a bit about my ex who just dumped me so It made me smile to see I wasn't alone. Thank you SO MUCH and good luck

you are a fantastic writer, i usually do not like such long lines but you deffinatly held my attention. great write. loved the last stanza!
-
HOLY SHIT!!! THIS WRITE WAS SO FN AMAZING!!! IT EXPLAINS SO MUCH IN JUST ONE SIMPLE POEM... IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FELT AT ONE POINT IN TIME, I COULD OF NEVER PUT SUCH DEEP MEANINGFUL EMOTIONS IN A WRITE LIKE THIS..
I told you I was over you – problem is, you called my bluff,
So maybe I should accept that I’ll never be good enough.
I love you too much to leave; I love myself too much to stay…
I’m torn between my need for you and the need to walk away.
THAT WAS MY FAVORITE LINE...
I know exactly how you feel, for i have been ther and done that head on!!! It really sucks... But i met someone thats much better for me and would never cheat on me...
im sure you could do the same... but do whats best for you!!!

don't you think it sucks when you try to bluff but someone pulls you on it? That's happened to me more than once! Nice rhyme throughput the poem. Thank you for entering.
-
great poem I like whipping and bondage too lol Sometimes we can think we are in love with someone simply because we lust after them I think this is really a great poem. Nice structure and flow. Thanks for entering. My favorite part was:
People at school have suspected us for just under three years,
Now whispers that I’m shagging you have been reaching people’s ears.
Part of me wants to tell them all, although that may be uncouth –
I’m torn between denying rumors and blurting out the truth.
-
Great job.... I loved the emotion. you can really feel how torn you are. nicely done and thank you for entering.
-
I like the fluid motion of this poem, the meter and rhyme are flawless, and give the reader a nice sense of rhythm. It's a clear cut poem, as you said in your author notes, self explanatory. No mystery, no headache trying to figure out what you're on about, just a lot of emotion expressed in the form of words.
I think that, while your language shows a lot of emotion, that maybe you could have invested in some slightly more complicated vocabulary, to make this even better than it already is. That's about the only criticism I can give you.
I wish you the best of luck, and keep writing and improving your poetry. ^__^

Good Luck in my contest
-
Such a wonderful write! good luck in the contest!
-
Ooooooooooooh I love it!!! God this is well written! Poignant, well rhythmed, perfectly worded. You're my idol
-
You are a great writer! all ur poems are fabulous! keep it up, i loved the last two lines they explained perfectly what i just went through.
-
Being over someone is a hell of alot easier just to say but its usually not from the heart. we have to force ourselves and others to think and believe it. Im in that process right now. The last line in your poem was the strongest part..i liked it alot. Life is full of such decisions and relationships, i think its pretty much never-ending. My advice: just keep going forward don't stop and get set on something that is not going to get anywhere. There is so much more out there
-
Wow....This reminds me a lot of my ex...The way there used to be a love and it all turned to lust....You should probably get out now...It'll get better; But continueing down this road can get abusive. I didn't get out until it was at the point that we were lighting eachother on fire...I mean...It can get worse and lust just makes you feel like shit in the end...I mean yeah sure...The sex may be great...But is it worth the lonliness you feel afterwards? Your poetry is amazing and it always touches me. I always read all of your poetry and most of the time I comment. I don't want to see you hurt or sad....Love is such a complicated emotion...It can make you happier then anyone else...but it can put you into a position of depression and nothingness just as fast..
-
great
wow....great!
-
I love it- the rhyming is great and the poem is very thought provoking. i know exactly what you mean, equal desires to kiss someone and punch them in the face.
