It' wasn't me

The greatest gift that he ever gave me
Was to let me know
  that
He never saw me

He never loved me
But he never rejected me either
  because
He never saw me

I am whole
I am complete
I am healed
 
  because

It wasn't me
He couldn't see
He couldn't feel

My love is just fine
My thoughts ARE divine

I'm headed in the right direction
I'm moving toward perfection

My heartache is healed
Because it was revealed
  that
He never saw me

Author notes

Sometimes friends and lovers do things that make you ask, "how could you do this to me?"

This poem is the result of a conversation with a friend who hurt me deeply. In so many words, he let me know that his actions had nothing to do with me because he never really saw me or loved me. It was harsh and for awhile it hurt, but I've come to realize that if he didn't know me he couldn't reject me. That's freedom and healing yall.

If you don't mind, dear reader, could you possible include in your comment a time when you learned that life lesson that freed you up.

    This was good. It isn't just traditional "I love you I hate you" it was meaningful and describes healing. The most recent life lesson I learned is that I am not meant for relationships. Me and the guy I've been with for about a year split the ticket two days ago. Not for any particular reason aside from being unhappy. We both still love and have feelings for each other, but the restraints were too much. So the first day was hard, but I slept better last night than I have in a year. People are all different, the same things don't work for everyone.

    Sometimes it's necessary for a person to be harsh I guess. It forces us to let go. I am in that process right now. I haven't been treated harshly but worse I think, I am being ignored which is neither here and there and almost leaves false hope ... thank you for sharing your pain.

    realizing it wasn't you he cared for and to put it in a good piece of poetry is much better than hanging on trying to make it work, when it was clear it wouldnt.. i applaud you.

    This has a great message. It flows very well. And I like the part about being healed and whole agian. Some people never really heal after a heartbreak. It shows great resiliancy that you can. Bravo!
