It's a post-it noted plastered in my memory;
A simple photograph tacked to my eternal heart
...You left me hanging
& I had no idea where to turn.
But I blame myself, for ever letting it get this far
Pretending it never bothered me;
that you were with her
or when we'd sway to the music, slowly & too comfortably close.
Now I'm disgusted by you for putting me in that position
A position so incredibly wrong.
That jokingly yet so in-depth conversation we had;;
I'd tell you repeatedly, "I don't want a relationship."
You'd comment back with a sly remark, as usual
"I'm not like other guys. Guaranteed, in a few months, you'll be mine."
I know you didn't mean it, but it hit.me.hard
You made me feel irreaplacable, when I wasn't even yours.
[that's.why.I.can't.do.this]
I'll never be yours
I know I should've came to my senses sooner
[But you were right.]
You're not like other guys.
The words replay over & over throughout my clustered thoughts
& I rehear them in these reoccuring dreams and scenarios.
You sugar-coated your lies so brilliantly;
deceiving me into believing you were worth.it.
Eventually, I was bound to b/r/e/a/k.
So in a secret & conclusive matter, I did.
I tentively open my blinded eyes
& realize if you ever even bothered to care;
you.would.be.here.with.me.
Baby, just because you always have the right words to say
Doesn't mean the slightest touch or word you force out of your untouchable lips
will make everything okay.
So here I hold built-up numerous memories enclosed in my hand
Impatiently hoping to find the strength to set them free
Though every night spent with you always had the same predictable ending:
You'd leave me here waiting for something I was never going to get.
Typical guy.
You were different, all right;;
but I didn't see you in the light I was hoping to see you in.
So I'll say my goodbyes & I'll say the words that I've needed to say
I'm nothing more than your memory
& you're nothing more than a favorite mistake.
♥

This was such a beautiful, yet so sad poem. I'm sorry that you were hurt this bad and hope things get better. I loved the last line "So I'll say my goodbyes and I'll say the words that I've needed to say/I'm nothing more than a memory/and you're nothing more than a favorite mistake." You deserve someone a whole lot better, don't give up on finding them for this jerk. Again such an amazing write.

Well put. Sometimes it's hard to admit that someone should be shoved aside and forgotten, but at the end of the day they need to be. Favourite mistake, I wrote that in one of my poems too, it describes the kind of guy who is attractive and somewhat good, but then pulls away. Or to me, anyway.

I can DEFINATELY relate to this one as well. That's what kind of happens with Steven...he kind of like would be offended if I went off with someone else, makes me feel like the only one, but we're not dating & he wont let anyone know.
Well wrote, very relatable, wonderful as always!

Ahhhh
Geez hoe how can you write like this?? This is AMAZINGG<333 Good for you girl, seriously. If he was really worth it, he would've showed you he truly cared by now. He's just another guy, just another face, someone you don't need to make your life more overwhelming. You're happy now and no guy has the right to take away your happiness, EVER.

Wowww, those lines hit so close to home, loved them<3
*Baby, just because you always have the right words to say
Doesn't mean the slightest touch or word you force out of your untouchable lips
will make everything okay.*
"I listen to you talk but talk is cheap." Hahhh. You really hit the nail on the head with that one. Words.are.so.empty.
*You were different, all right;;
but I didn't see you in the light I was hoping to see you in.*
Favvvvs fo sho.
