Back when

Scared and confused
I wasn't thinking
I was so young 
You kept telling me you loved me
But now I think That was A Lie
If you really loved me, why would you hurt me?

I was Young and dumb
didn't know what true love really was,

I was....
Stupid, in Love,
Fucked up, totally Drunk
A Game, You won.
A Puzzle coming undone,
Missing pieces,
My sanity all gone,
Back when I thought you were the one.

You're voice was so silent,
When you Whispered all those words,
That at one time I thought you meant.
You took advantage,
Cause you knew I was in love.
My Trust you Damaged,
Now it's hard for me to trust anyone.

I was Young and dumb
didn't know what true love really was,

I was....
Stupid, in Love,
Fucked up, totally Drunk
A Game, You won.
A Puzzle coming undone,
Missing pieces,
My sanity all gone,
Back when I thought you were the one.

Hopeless! You left me in distress.
Psychotic! Everything you did was Chaotic.
Pathetic! Fucked up, All the pain you caused,
Was for nothing you never gave a Fuck!

Was dedicated to J.J.B. but not anymore were actually still really close friends and
I was pretty much just pissed about breaking up and overreacted

    the anger and mood of this poem is quite intense. Very raw indeed and many people can relate to this. Thought it's very simple and not very imaginatively written. Your word choice could be more complex and interesting. Still a very emotional poem.

    Please don't take these comments harshly, they're meant to help not to be spiteful.

    I rather think you sacrifice your poem by only using one "frustrated" adjective, and a not very imaginative one at that. I would have gone out and expanded my vocabulary to suite how I really felt, stop dealing with the anger and look at the real issue, the anger is only a mask and you've let it get in the way of your work. The heart of the issue is an issue of the heart. Keep writing, expand your knowledge. -CC

    I like this. Really shows the emotion, and how your eyes were opened when looking back on the situation. Good job paying attention to my poetry, this definitely fits some of the relationships I've found myself in also.

    Very original, not a story I read alot of poems about so I liked that. Love the repetition and clarity. I also like the realisation that you were young and didn't have much sense but now you know how he took advantage of you was wrong. Definitely one of my favourites so far.
    Well done, good luck and thank you for entering

          Cool well i will favorite but I'm gonna wait till after contest to comment and i will try to write something new also

  • This was a very well writen piece. The flow went with it great. The way you expressed your agner and frustration of getting taken advangtage of was excellent. I could honestly feel your emotions just by reading it. I could tell you felt used and hurt and maybe even a little betrayed. You have real talent. You should work with this piece a bit more.

    Wonderful piece! The chorus that repeats gives the feeling of someone on edge or having a slight breakdown over what happened, which is very appropriate. And the story you're telling with this comes through very well. I like that there was no rhyme to this -- I think that helped the flow of the piece quite a bit. And keeping all the lines of each stanza roughly the same length made them flow together easier as well. This would be a very good piece to expand on, I think.
