When You Say

This really happened.

When you say you love someone,
you shouldn't make them
feel like s**t, like they're worthless.
You shouldn't make them cry,
or break them down to nothing.

When you say "I love you"
you don't turn around and
say "our love feels different,
I look at you different,
because you said you'd save yourself for me,
and you didn't."

What the F**K.
Why in your right mind
would you say that?
It's like a punch to the stomach,
the kind that leaves you breathless,
gasping for air.

When you say "I love you"
I don't believe you,
you broke my heart,
treated me like s**t,
and fucked yourself over.

How does it feel?
Knowing your worthless to me,
knowing I won't ever let you in again,
even though I've known you my whole life,
loved you just as long.

Hey girl; I finally made it. Yay!
Unfortunately guys are somewhat pathetic, generally speaking and have extremely poor "sensitivity" skills. When we're young and the hormones are rushing through our veins, guys will say anything to get what they want, but seemingly always manage to eventually blurt out the inevitable truth about themselves with stupid and insensitive comments or even worse, become physical abusers. Yes I can believe it! Look, try not to be too disappointed in failed future encounters with "boys". After all, they are just boys still. The truth is you will most likely have a rash of failed relationships over the course of the years. I only say this because the world is moving so fast at present that everyone is afraid that their going to miss out on something, so their never really satisfied with what they have and for no good reason, might and have tossed a perfect catch to the side of the road, simply for some unknown "new reality". It's hard not to take life personally, but I can tell you it does get easier the older we get. This was a direct and pointed rebuttal to a stupid a*****e. I particularly love the the last stanza for it's somewhat vengeful yet somewhat sad quality.....

I definitely understand you . (although that review about guys is a little insulting, I'm usually the one getting broken down) I can definitely relate. I can feel you in this piece, and I can't wait to read more.

he's sounds very confused, that's a nice way of saying he's fucked up LOL

As long as he's only immortalized in a poem and not in your heart :)

great piece... its simple yet conveys strong emotional feelings =)

[Tina Kline]

A very hurtful situation. Too bad people can't care a little bit more for each others feelings.

[TeenRomance2]

This is definitely a very wtf emotional situation. Well-put into poetry.

[Jennifer Pennington]

I can feel all the hurt you felt in this poem, good write. But i'm sorry to hear that you were hurt hun :( people really can surprise you sometimes, ive learned it doesnt matter how long you've known and loved someone, they still always have the ability to let you down.

That sucks...not the poem....lol...but the boyfriend. Better off without him. Nice job getting your point across and venting. Nice job.
