He's With Her

You told me I was special ,
someone you could grow to love ,
then you stabbed me in the back ,
by picking the other woman .

She's probably prettier ,
smarter , and kinder ,
she probably older ,
more experienced and wiser ,
she's probably funny ,
and more interesting to boot .

Whereas I'm nothing ,
not important , not to you ,
I'm probably fatter ,
and stupid , and mean ,
inexperienced and jealous ,
and dull for the end .

She is probably better ,
a nicer fit for you ,
where I'm a square ,
and you're a circle,
perfect and everything ,
and you don't fit my imperfections .

Even though I know that ,
all my friends will say your foolish ,
I know you were right in choosing her ,
for I'm a broken gift ,
and she's a silver package .

How can I go on ,
knowing that he had her ,
touched her , showed her he loved her ,
the same way he did me ,
but meant it with her ,
and lied to me ?

I'm just so hurt ,
my tears are bathing my cheeks ,
in proof of my pain ,
in show of my agony ,
I feel like no one can understand ,
not even if they've had it happen ,
I just can't stand ,
to be here anymore ,
knowing he's with her .

Beautiful poem, yet very sad.

[Distant horizons]

Sad, sorrowful words. No one can understand because no two circumstances are the same. Beautifully worded.
