Looking in your eyes
I never thought you would let me fall
I should have known better
That I would hit the ground
And lose you
I tried to hang on
To keep us together
To save our love
And what we had
I was too young and blind
To realize I had already lost you
You were no longer mine
Was loving you
Suppose to hurt this much?
I know you begged me to stay
To watch you in her arms
To be there for you everyday
But I could not take another fall
I do not want to die for you
To take my dignity my pride
And let you hurt me
Make me feel weak and alone
You will never get the satisfaction
Of seeing me on my knees
Begging you to come back
To hurt me one more time
Your anger was reason enough
To leave you like you left me
No amount of satisfaction from you
Is ever worth the pain
Of giving up myself
For that one moment
That you finally looked at me

Excellent
What an excellent piece of art. I really enjoyed the imagery and emotion in this one. Well Done! ~Gar -
It is good to see that the subject in your poem realizes that there is more to a relationship than love and that loving someone isn't worth risking self and sanity. Thanks for a different poem and one that isn't simply pining for love no matter the cost.
Best of luck in the contest. -
