Swept off My Feet

You can have your petty games, but I'm not playing anymore.

Swept off my feet

At first sight,

I did everything

That you wanted.

We danced and

We played and

We frolicked around;

Then you got

Distant and cold.

Then you left,

And my heart,

My heart broke.

You came back

And my heart,

It became whole.

I was happy.

You left again,

And I was

Sad, not broken.

You didn’t return.

I moved on.

I later learned

That you were

Playing with me

And my heart.

You needed me

More than I

Really needed you.

You thought that

It was a game,

But that’s okay.

You can have

Your petty games;

I’m not playing anymore.

I felt much the same way. Thanks for the review.

This is a fantastic poem! It's really simple but has so much emotional depth! I love how the narrator goes through ups and downs and learns from them. It also ends on an incredibly strong note! Great job!
