Don't Ever

Don’t Ever

 

I don’t love you anymore.

So, don’t you ever think

I can’t live without you.

If you decide to leave,

Know as a fact that…

I promise you this…

“I don’t need you.”

Never will you hear me say

That you are my joy.

I hope you know

I would be filled with happiness

If you’d just hear me out.

Are you listening?

Sorry, this was my first attempt at this type of poem. Maybe I'll do a better one someday with a better meaning!
