I gave you my life and all I stood for
was right there at your side
but all that you wanted was an arm rest
I gave you my heart and every beat was for you
day and day through
but all that you wanted was practice
now you stand here at my door
looking for my love so true
well guess what, I'm over you
I don't need you, I don't want you,
I don't crave you, I don't love you
like a train it rattles on
the misconceptions that had guided
my world left unconfided
I don't feel you, I don't see you,
I don't hear you, I wish I never met you
like the wind it carries through
this lie of me and you
my world to misconstrue
I don't understand you or demand you
confine or reprimand you,
Hey, who's that?
he's Hawt and he's looking at me,
so I'm checkin him out
that's what life's all about
So over you
Author notes
this is about my first love and how he neglected me then cheated on me and i lost my love for him and how later he tried to get me back and he was already out of my heart. i got hurt too bad to forgive and once i realized that it was easy to move on and not question my feelings.

Ohkay, so the first three stanzas were basically the story of my life, but this one really stood out to me. I love how you wrote that. I don't even know how to explain it. Amazinggg. Just simply amazing.

Aw this is such a heartfelt piece, I loved every word of it. You know I know how that feels, especially if he was you first love, but you know just keep thinking it was his loss because it is if someone like you loves him so much and he doesn't realize it, its his mistake and not yours.
Good job with this one.

What a raw and heartfelt piece. It really hurts when your trust is betrayed. I can so relate to this. It was his loss but too little too late. Good luck in the contest. Amy

this is good and a true--->
a true depiction of young life happening. i like this write alot and my only peice of thought is that you should forgive him. Dont go back to him because in truth he is just a user of you; rather you should forgive him for being human but never forget the heartache he caused you... i dont know if that makes sense to you but i think you would not have been with him if he didnt have some redeeming qualities as well ya know... you can still love him as a friend and forgive him but refuse to be something more because you cannot forget his transgressions... he still might be worthy of friendship if you think he is cool overall... i dont know, matters of the heart are always difficult at best and tragic at worst...

thanxu but he cheated on me with one of my now ex-friends and he's so done and after that he cheated on her. he's just about what he can get and he'll say anything to get it. he's so done, besides that was a couple years ago now and i don't have the visions of him tripping and falling under the school bus and having his head crushed like a coconut anymore anyway

This is an awesome poem. I love the raw emotion of this piece. Man I pictured the day I kicked my ex to the curb. I still think he ruined my life though. Anyways, I enjoyed the read!!!
