You said you love me...
I believed you,
And was too blind to see
You were afraid.
More scared than me,
And when things got too hard,
You couldn't let us be...
You would run away, so far away.
You'd just leave me,
All alone,
A goodbye would be nice, because I failed to see
That this was over, and this was the end.
And I question what you said was real, because didn't you love me?
Was it my fault? Or was it yours?
What did I fail to see?
Did I say something wrong, what did I do?
Please tell me!
This is driving me crazy, if only you knew...
Please don't leave!
I'm sick of you running away...
From everything, from who we are, and worse... From me!
You started this spark, don't let it die!
All I'm asking you is, why oh why?
Didn't you see how hard I did try?
To keep this working, so it wouldn't die?
And now you're not here
And it shouldn't be something new
This is what I hated the most, and this is what I fear
I guess I was too in love, to even have a clue
You were scared you'd hurt me so, but I guess I didn't make it clear
I love you, I need you, and watching you leave is the last thing I want to do
But I guess this is goodbye
And I don't know why
But at this point I'm so sick of you leaving me
I'm so sick of being unable to see
I'm just so sick of you running away
So this time I'll run too, in the opposite way
Because I'm running away from you
Because now I know, everything you ever said was never ever true

Sometimes you have to run away from something to find something new. Heartfelt write. Your emotions shine through.
Write on, poet.

I would hardly call this running away. I would say a great escape would be better. A really well told poem. All the very best in the contest.

It's based on a real relationship, and I'd say it is.
Thanks for the comment though, I appreciate it

Oh Amanda, You did escape finally from that on and off hell. I take it, that you were writing about yourself. No matter what, you are better off without someone who does that to you. It's not only unkind its darn right cruel.

Yep. And they did it more than once too.
