Did I Ruin Everything

What did I do to you?
I thought this was a
Two-way street
I never did anything
I just spoke my mind,


Did I ruin everything
When I complemented you
Or when I said
You're different than most
What am I suppose to do cause baby its the truth
Forget about you
And the things you do
Did I ruin everything


When I said I have feelings for you
But its you, you're the one
To string me along
When you liked someone else
Leaving me to be lost
In the pact
In a race that goes on for miles
Did I ruin everything


With myself
Believing in you,
Did I ruin everything
When I listened to you

But its you that ruined everything

sometimes i feel like a i ruin everyone else's life by being in it.... not mine, but theres. so in a way i know how you feel. but a friend of mine made me realize that we really shouldn't blame ourselves for everything, cause not everything is our fault.

You create a hard story with a sad ending. I like the honest words and directness of the poem. Sometime we must grasp the truth and escape from the possibility of pain. Thank you for a excellent poem.

People are people, no ones motivations are the same. Some seek friendships, others want lovers and others want self gratification while yet others seek to help. The list goes on.

Never lose the ability to trust and everyone deserves a chance, some people earn a second.

Hm, that is very heart felt, lol. How i say, the second last stanza that is the perfect, and my heart can relate to it. You're just amazing the way you penning your feelings...

I love how you write so clearly about your feelings. Nice write!

Blame's a funny thing, and nice to see so well expressed here. The old question of whose fault was 'it'. Really it dose not matter whose fault it was, just that it get's fixed. You have expresses with great craftsmanship the question. It is not a light poem. Deep and intense, but thoroughly enjoyable

Everybody has these feelings from time to time or indeed for a long time, it is a common occurance with the whole growing up and maturing in life. I am not old as i am only a teenager, but experiences have made be mature. I have been through these and i feel you have really expressed the feeling in these well, powerful emotion etc. well done :) xxxxxxxxxx

I like it. Very descriptive. Great job

[Kenneth The Poet]

I think it's good, you nail the truth of a relationship falling apart. Nobody is truly not guilty when a relationship goes south, at least in my opinion.

[Just Cat]

This is such a relatable piece.
The first stanza especially I can relate to.
I like the bluntness and the hurt in it, its not dark as such which is why I enjoyed it so much (Ironic I know considering my own writing lol)
I like how the last line is like a slap-in-the-face-reality check too. Realisations and epiphanies usually hit us like that.
Great work and thank you for sharing!
