So Simple

So Simple

A Poem by Brenda Alicia

"Loving you is the best thing that's ever happened to me"
What a funny thing to think..
Maybe that's why I'm left feeling so strange.
Maybe it's why I doubt myself every single day.
How can I still love somebody who was so cruel?
Could it be because I did it to you, too?
I broke your heart. I broke it in two.
If I only knew what I was about to lose.
But I didn't, you were around, for months to follow. You held my hand despite your sorrow.
I tried everything to revive what you've lost. I know that I broke your heart.
I blamed myself every single day.
But why do I have to forgive someone who lied straight to my face!
I know I was wrong. I know I was.
But you did things that one should not speak of..
You were not a man just a boy... So, I should not blame you.
I shouldn't be so coy...
Who cares! I don't- I want to feel your touch again...
It's so simple to say what is.
It's so simple to pretend to forgive. I know that I must or else I will never move on...
It's so confusing and it leads me astray-
All the things I want to say
But I keep them inside. Because I've learned from my mistakes.
It's so simple.
So simple that I know I must stay away.
Because you know what is true. You see, I'm just like you.
But it's just not fair and I curse the air.
Because I miss you, I just miss you.
You see, it's so simple, this thing between you and me.
But I'll let you go. I want you to be free.
Despite the anger and resentment I hold onto.
I will always and forever love you.
But you can never know
and this is why...
Because you're still on the other side.
I've been sorry so many times. But you still lied.
Just to keep me by your side.
I want to know how long, how long was your deceit?
Were you unfaithful to me?
Oh! I am just so tired of caring.
You see? How simple it is? To say what it is?
