I had to walk out on you
because I suddenly came to see.
How could I have loved you so much
knowing you had lost your love for me?
You let me walk out of your life
and I had so quickly became your past.
And I never would've thought
you could move on from me so fast.
My nights with you were hard
when the love I needed was denied.
Didn't want to kiss or hold me.
With my back turned at night, I cried.
And yet still I tried to touch you
when you kept on breaking free.
I'd lay there in the dark defeated
wondering what the hell was wrong with me?
How could I have kept coming back
knowing the love I needed was never there?
The nights I was left at home crying
feeling my death might make him care.
My friends and family don't understand
"There's plenty of fish in the sea."
How can I possibly move on
when all this heartbreak is controlling me?
When he stopped loving me
was the day I lost my soul.
My world became so cold and empty
and I've lost all my self-control.

It's so terrible, the emotion expressed here, to have to endure it. It takes them so long to actually sever ties, and they just sit there, acting like nothing's going on -- when they make it so very obvious that they no longer have any interest for you... and then right afterwards, they're over it!! Just like that! And you sit there with absolute heartache, and it seems like nobody understands. Thank you for submitting this to my contest; it really means a lot to me. Though the flow was a little awkward in places, it was still a wonderful poem.
