If I Had Never Met You

If I had never met you, you wouldn't be in pain

If I had never met you, I wouldn't be ashamed

If I had never met you, you wouldn't be the same

If I had never met you, I wouldn't cry today

If I met you, you would love me

If I met you, I would love you

If I met you, you'd be in pain

If I met you, we'd never be the same.

I'm sorry...

Love, when it's good it can be very, very good but when it goes pear shaped it can become horrid. When things go wrong we do things and say things which cause great pain and can linger long after the breakup. You expressed that pain well here. Nicely written.

Joey, truly excellent work. We have all had occasional pains that can sometimes come from love and you make this very clear in your writing. Nice job!

Oh no... This is really sad. Love could be ironic. Sometimes, the other person feels happiness in loving the other whilst the latter feels pain. Such the complexity of love. Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I am going through something like this now. Well written. Sometimes you wonder whether love is worth it, lol.

[Joey K]

Thanks! I'll be sure to write more of these types of stories

You kept it short and meaningful. Sometimes these short poems and passages can really get us thinkin'. Anywho, thanks for sharing x

Regards and safe journeys ahead,
Mira.

I think we all have someone in our life who has made us feel this type of anger and heartbreak. I did many years ago and the words you used in this poem described how I felt perfectly. I especially liked the repetitiveness of "If I had never met you" and the change to "If I met you" which reinforced the meaning. The "I'm sorry" also packed a punch. Good job! Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the poem.

The emotion of love is the strongest emotion. AS is hatred.
you loved this person, you fell for the person. She or he fell
for you. Love is what you do? It hurts so much that you can not
realize what you knew, when you loved this person. It is a certianity
that love will always be. Set your heart to be, free of the love, you fell for thee,
The pain of rejection is there for all to see. Dust yourself off, look at the being
you be, there is some good in thee, believe you are worthy to love, and you will
be loved. Love yourself, that is what you must do, believe you are worthy, believe,

This is really sad. I reread a few times. The "I'm sorry..." at the end is heartbreaking:( I'm sorry you went through this pain.
