Sometimes it seems
All I've got is my dreams
With how hard I try
I wonder why
I shouldn't be
the one in pain, see,
Because I've been around
Whenever you're down
I've picked you up
I've lifted your spirits
Then when I try and speak
You don't want to hear it
The pain you cause
The lies you breed
I'm obviously not
The one you need
So now time passes
So now I grieve
For what you could've had
For what you leave
But though the pain is harsh
And though the night is long
I'll not be held down by it
I've become far too strong
So now I'll ignore
Whatever we had
And if you come back
Well, that's too bad
You shouldn't have been
So quick to get rid
Of someone on whom
Others would bid
So now I'm alone
Yes, that is true
But I was even more so
When I was with you
Because I never had
What you claimed to be giving
But now that you're gone
Maybe I can start living
Author notes
Number six in a series of seven poems to chronicle the process that I went through durring this break-up that occurred. Obviously in this one I've started the healing process.
If you like this one, all I ask is that you tell at least one friend of me. Tell them of the other pieces you've enjoyed as well. The way I see it, if I can help even just one person realize they're not alone in their pain, then there will have been a purpose to all of this horror I've been subjected to at the hands of this woman (and I use that term loosely).

Definately a friend in the form of a poem. I could never put into words exactly how I felt when something like that happened to me. I mostly just dived into this pool of self-hatred and insanity and stayed there. But anytime someone starts to wonder if they should take the one who's done them wrong back...they need to read your poetry and see how strong you are. They need that source of inspiration to keep being strong themselves. Thank you for summoning up the words to describe your feelings and your knowledge. It's helped at least one person already
Always,
Emily
