False Affection

False Affection

 

~

Pain, pain,

Came my way.

 

It’s funny how it keeps coming

Back another day.

 

You said it was over,

You said it was done

 

Hell, it would have gotten us in trouble

In the long run.

 

Like a fire ablaze in my chest, pain sears

This whole situation, it seems too much to handle, too much to bear.

How funny, you told me you’d always be there.

 

Why did I believe you?

It was too good to be true.

 

Why did I think you were different

Than all those before you?

 

I was stupid

Ha! No surprise

I should’ve been smart; I should’ve opened my eyes.

 

But I wasn’t, I didn’t

And so I’m left with a broken heart.

God knows why I thought you wouldn’t rip it apart.

 

I was lovestruck, I was blind

Like all the others, from the start,

You were probably planning my demise.

 

I was so f*****g stupid, so f*****g naïve, you never needed me

All the more reason for me not to be.

 

With this said and done, I leave you with a simple question, a mere thought:

Haven’t you any idea how much pain you’ve brought?

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Poem I wrote for a friend and a situation she's in right now. She asked me to write it.

Hello Kristen,

I am quite aware of the pain I have brought and to whom I brought it too, sad I know. But I could tell you everysingle one and every single detail you would like to know. Of course that is me and it has nothing to do with this poem, I do apologize, I have been getting far too ranty lately.

Your friend chose the right person to write this for her as this is extremely personal, and very well thought out. It brings pure true emotion, a talent a lot of other writers lack, that brings the reader into the pain. Well done.

Always,

Matthew

Sometime we maybe be foolish. A second trip into hell is necessary to really learn the story. The poem story is very common. Old heart is last to know the person is a pain in the butt. A very good poem. No-one can learn the easy way. That would be common sense. A excellent poem.

[JelliFyshKissUs]

Who did this to her, Kristen? I'll kill 'em! lol! So much emotions oozes from your work. You are a pleasure to read. And I hope your friend didn't actually read this to him. The things he must feel if she did.

i know she thinks life sucks now, but with endurance she will find wat she's looking for. great poem i remember when i had feelings like that. i can so relate.

[EverEmma]

This raw show of emotion is heartbreaking and tear jearking. Your beautiful flow of words is flavored with hatred and love. This is brilliant as always. Wonderfully expressed and just a great piece. Tell your friend that she is not stupid and not naive, she was in love. That is not a crime and never should appear as insolent, dumb, or false. It is an emotion felt everyday and broken everyday. Please let her know that.


Your friend and fellow writer-
