Regret and loneliness,
pain and despair.
Confused and angry,
more hurt than can bear.
Abandoned and sad,
Forgotten?
Ignored.
One week "I miss you"
The next, not a word.
It's been so long-
thought this would fade.
Why do I still care?
Why still feel betrayed?
Still waiting for something.
an answer?
a clue?
Still desperately wishing
To be back with you.

Well this one certainly deserved to win that contest for sure!I'm amazed at how beautifully your words flow and how powerful and full of emotion they are!
It's sad and easy to relate to.Very well done and I know the pain of loss and unrequited love so you are not alone when you feel this way,though I hope now you are feeling much better and time has helped you move on.Keep writting for it is a very good form of therapy and you are gifted indeed,so you wouldn't want to waste such talents!

When love is deep inside our heart, it's so hard to unrip it.
Desperately waiting for somebody who never will come back...Only time helps our soul and sadness disappears forever. -
Time will heal all wounds if we do our part. Remember your true friends are still with you.

I know what you mean
It seems as if poems with titles such as this evoke many memories and emotions in readers which is part of the poetry process. I think that the flow was outstanding, the formation of the write itself was great and the fact that you can get how you feel out so eloquently, perfect! -
Bookmarked!
This is as complex as it is simple and as delightful as it is terrifying. It has a certain Clapton simplicity, and yet speak so many volumes below the surface. I love the flow, and yes, that includes the imperfect meter (do not change it) and I'll be re-reading it often. Thank you for this.

Oh love it, you showed your emotions well, and the flow was just perfect, you described it all so perfectly and simply.
