Before and After You

Before you there was only me.
My elusive emotional style blocked many
people out for a long while.
I hid my true feeling behind a flirtatious
smile.
All the while waiting for milk for almost
free, and all the cow would ask for is love
from me.
The towering emotional walls became to big
of an obsticale and you realized that the
real Jason you did not see.
But you waited for almost two years before
you left me.
I'm not mad at you Love, because after you
there will still only be me.

"My elusive emotional style blocked many

I can definately relate to that verse. However, While your last sentence holds true; it's always nice to have someone there to share your life with. Who will be there through the good & bad times. I love the feel of this piece.

Nice write!

Interesting. I felt your remorse, which almost turned to "whatever", even though it's true; after someone leaves, you still have yourself. I was just surprised after reading most of the piece where you seem to have been reflecting and apologetic about the situation. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was really clever with great moments in wordplay, I was just thrown and I laughed when I read the last lines!

You're really made for this Jason! This is definitely what you do and I hope to see and read more to get a better feel from you as a poet......

I have to say that you are a man of many emotions. Your poetry flows from poem to poem and in the end........ There it is.......Thee Jason Scott.

NIce piece. Its ashame that love left you behind but every experience is for growth. Maybe love wasnt ready for you yet. You seem like alot to handle.

Live, Love and Learn

Because after you
there will still only be me.

That's true. After a relationship you only have yourself. like beyonce's song, "me, myself, and i" its true. "that's all i got in the end, that's what i found out. And there aint' no need to cry, I took a vow that from now on I'm going to be my own best friend...." sorry, i love that song, and your poem sparked those lyrics. only one thing; you got a couple of typos.
