What was thought to be forever only lasted for a while,
What I lacked in my reflection, I thought was present in your smile.
The things I learned about you when you turned and walked away,
The person that you showed me was an unknown face that day.
In a tiny little second, all was said, and all was done.
Our life together over, just before it had begun.
It never seemed to matter that I wanted you to stay,
You picked up and moved off, abandoned me that day.
I close my eyes, and try to sleep, but can only see your face.
My love was never strong enough to keep you in this place.
I thought I had it all, all I wanted, all I need.
You threw it all away, because of lust because of greed.
I hope you think your happy in the new life that you chose.
The sound my heart is making, as it's breaking no one knows.
I hope you like the outcome of the choice you made that day.
Day by day, my good memories of you all just fade away.
I thought for once in my life, that I was good enough for you.
But you broke my heart to pieces, you thought it wasn't true.
No one will ever love you half as much or quite the same.
It doesn't matter though, because to you it's just a game.

This is a great poem filled with lots of emotional hurt and anguish....... only during some of the verses I felt as if it was forced.... I'm very hard to please when I read rhyme poetry... thank you for entering though

This is amazaing shit man... it has alot of emotion and i like that about someone especially with guys becuz not to many express their stuff like you do *no offense to other men*

Such well written pain outlined in acceptance. Recovering, step by step - along the narrow way. I know who this was for, and in my heart I know you may never truly be able to just let go; it just isn't that easy. Amazing write my dearest!

awww I liked this one. I can relate to it quite well. I felt this way about my last guy and now he left me and he's with another man. My heart breaks more and more every night but oh well.
