Love Poem: Why

Why

With all this bottled up pain inside, 
I hide. 
I fake my smile on days, that feel depressed.
Although it’s not always there, 
I cry and I cry a lot. 

Why did you have to hurt me like you did?
Why did you have to lie?
Why did you have to cheat?
Why say you love me, when all you did was destroy?
Why? 

You come back expecting me to fall back to your will. 
Well, not this time. 
I’m happy with the one i like. 
I’m happy talking to him. 
I’m happy in general.

As for you, you poor poor broken down person, 
All you did was break me down to rebuild yourself. 
But not this time, i’m not going back. 
You had your chance you blew it. 
I’ve moved on. 
So should you. 

But as I sit here and write this poem, 
I realize you have moved on.   
But she destroyed you, like you destroyed me.
I tried, to warn you. 
But you insisted you go back to the one who hurt you before. 

Now, here I am happy as i can be. 
And you always texting me say “I love you” 
I don’t respond why would I?
I don’t love you anymore. 
You hurt me. 
I thought i would never be able to love or even like someone again. 
My thoughts were wrong. 
I moved on. 
Why, can’t you just leave and not bother me?
Let me be happy. 

Ask yourself why you did what you did.
Don’t blame me.
