Tangled Up

I tried to write in free verse instead of a rhyme scheme. I admit I wrote it when I was angry, I had feelings I couldn't explain. I just needed to let it out. I don't like to write angry but happens

I wish you would just talk to me

You have the words I need to hear but lack the ability to speak

You frustrate me more than anything else

I don’t know why you can’t share with me

You know how I feel, and that’s why it hurts

To think you would act like nothing is wrong

That you don’t know what is bothering me

If you cared about me at all, you’d open your eyes and see

I act different well there is a reason

You basically used me, made me think I was something more

While we may not be meant to be

I do have feelings

Despite your failing to see

Will the words make everything better?

I doubt it. But it would help me move forward

To finally hear from you what I have already known

I am hopeful it will finally kill my feelings for you.

I can’t lie to you and say that I’m not hurting

Acting like my heart isn’t broken

Don’t mistake it, I am done with you

When it all falls apart and it will, like your relationships before

You won’t be able to come back to me anymore

I am to you now an acquaintance, nothing more

If you see me, please just walk on by

I try to delete you from my life

I archive your messages, and erase your number

I have yet to erase you from my mind

Holding onto hope that I will do that in time

For you see, to me you are no longer special

To move past you I feel I need to hate you

It may seem trivial to everyone else

But to me it’s the only way to cleanse my mind

To forget all they ways you make me hurt

Am I strong enough to move past you?

Author's Note

I have always used rhymes when I write poems and this one I didn't. Let me know what you think with a review if you have the time, I would love to hear your thoughts.

Nice emotional work. I prefer to write lyrical stuff myself. But poetry isn't always about the rhyme. If this is your first free write, you've got talent.
Stay with it and just what comes naturally.
Thanks for sharing

Thank you. I usually always rhyme when I write poems using couplets. I kept seeing poems without a rhyme scheme thought it was odd. I just wanted to try it. Thank you for the review.
