I would like to tell you
Our whole conversation
Started out with
The honest truth.
But it didn’t.
I would also like to tell you
We talked like
Civilized young people.
But we didn’t.
And last but not least
I would like to tell you
We solved everything
And became friends.
But... we didn’t.
I was growling;
‘Do you even love me
anymore?’
and you were sighing;
‘I loved what we had
back then.’
And that put us
Where we are now.
Me, heartbroken
And fake-smiling,
And you, not caring.
We were NOT JUST
Another
Teenage fucking romance.
We were true,
And in love
... like you’ll never be again.
You said you loved me,
In the nights
When I was pretending to sleep
And you pretended not to know.
Now you say
I loved you too much,
And make that your excuse
For forgetting about me.
Well, I’m sorry then,
For not setting a limit
To the greatest love of all.
And right now I wish
I could make you hurt,
Just as much as I have,
And drown you
In all the tears I've ever cried.
Thanks for the lies Babe.
You sure know how
To break a heart.
None..

I can honestly say that I think this is the best poem I've favorited on DA.

...Wow, I sound like I'm sucking up.

I have no idea how you feel now, but all I can say is I can tell this poem was written with raw emotion. I hope you're feeling better, because during September I went through a situation that seemed to match this perfectly... and I know how much relief I got from reading a poem that displayed that feeling properly. It's like getting someone much more talented than you to write a poem about how YOU feel, if you know what I mean. ^^;

Anyway... this is a great piece. :heart:
