The desperation to end this confusion has done the opposite
Dragging me down into another pile of meaningless shit
I’m sorry that I thought the drama was gonna end in high school
Excuse me for having feelings of my own, however cruel
Love is a strong word and you cannot fathom what it means
Two years is a long time and he knows of every single dream
Mere hugs and kisses don’t always mean I care
Did you ever stop to think that maybe I’m just scared
Or maybe I’m not, what the hell do you know
Four months you’ve known me; that’s all you have to show
You need to realize that he’s known me for four years
He’s been there through it all; the happiness, laughter, and tears
The ego of your brain drives me emotionally insane
I haven’t found the words to tell you that you’re actually a bane
You think you’re so amazing, you think you can’t be beat
Hate to break it to you now but I bear news of your defeat
If you held me in your arms, you’d try to be my hero
Number one in my eyes? You, sir, are a zero
But one thing is for certain: You’ll never be as good as him
You’re betting your every emotion on a desperate whim
But don’t take it personally, no one will ever measure up
It’s hard to stress the point that you’ll never be good enough
However hurtful it may be to you, it is the truth
Would you rather I told a lie to avoid being uncouth?
Yeah, I guess you would, wouldn’t you? You’ve been hurt so bad before
I bet you’re broken-hearted from your four-day relationship, whore
Oh and having a job must suck so bad
Getting paid would make anyone irrevocably sad
You think you really want me to be yours
After everything about you I have come to abhor
Want me to like you? Want me to have pride?
Then perhaps you should start thinking more like a McBride
Oh that’s right, silly me, that thought can never be
Because your fantasy god complex blinds you to reality
What a strong defense mechanism, if it can even be called such
You’ve been through so much hell; obviously, it’s too much
You are not the next love of my life
You are a cause of the confusion and strife
You’re upset ‘cause you’ve failed to win my heart
Well I’m sorry (not really) now I must depart
So go ahead and keep basking in your pathetic little lie
I’ll continue to stand by my heart’s alibi
And just bear in your mind that you are not the same
As the person whose love is my one claim to fame

I love this. I can really feel your pain, your anger, frustration but most of all your confusion. You seem furious at the fact that this boy wants to take the place of someone who will never be able to be replaced in your heart.
I think tho that you will spenk your whole life comparing everyone that you meet against your ex. I know how hard it is to let go of a love that you still have very strong feelings for.
Your emotion is portrayed so well and your anger is so evident.
Brilliant job hun, and thank you for entering my contest. If you ever need to talk i am here for you -
I really like this piece and the emotion behind it is very real. Poetry is great because it can let you get all your feelings out about a tough situation like break ups. I think this is a well written poem.
-
good piece, I enjoyed reading it. One can actually feel the emotion behind the words.
Thank You for sharing it
-
OMG!! i love it ...it explains so much about alot of things

Welcome to Allpoetry
I am actually a little confused.
I can't tell if this guy is so conceited he presumes he could win your heart if he wanted, or if you are so deluded that you are beating him down for not being someone you want him to be.
The word choice is excellent. You can swear in poems it is filtered for those underage or who have chosen that option. The flow is well done, rhyme effective.
Overall a good piece.
Welcome to Allpoetry
I hope that you enjoy the site, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask

Thanks. It was written at three in the morning and I generally think that's when I do my best.
The poem is basically saying that the guy who does want to win my heart is no comparison to the person who already has it, no matter how good he thinks himself.
Thanks for taking the time to read it.

-
Oh my god, I absolutley love this poem, it is one of the best I've read.
You think you’re so amazing, you think you can’t be beat
Hate to break it to you now but I bear news of your defeat.
I like the whole thing, but this is my favorite part. Great job, keep writing!
