I Can't Give What You want

This is to my ex, even though he'll probably not read it. My emotions are just so annoying that this is the only way I can truly convey how exactly I feel about him.

It was fun, really
We had laughs, jokes
A week past, fly-by
My feelings were mixed

I like you as a friend
Loved you like a brother
I tried to talk to you
But you mistook what I said

Letters keep arriving at my locker
My mood dampens when I see
These proclamations of your love
Because I know that it's wasted

I received one today
It was sweet, no doubt
You told me I gave you hope
And you think about me constantly

You believe that you will be
Forever single because of me
That I've stolen your heart
When I didn't even want it

Please leave me be
I can't fake my feelings
It's a craft that few people possess
But it never works out right

My heart does not yearn for you
Though yours does for me
Get over me already
For I can't give what you want from me

I like it! You are honest, direct, and strong. He has to get the point, and he will, sooner or later. I had this problem once...except instead of notes, he would sit on my porch and wait for me. I was very direct and strong with my words...he flew away and landed on someone else's porch :)

Oh good! :) I'm glad it worked out for you.

Blunt!
The situation is not such an attractive one for both, and quite common.

I know I really hated the situation. Thank you for your thoughts.

i love this. Most relationships end up feeling the way you do. MOst people don't even pay attention to it. They think it is a bump in the road. You are smart for leaving him. all he wanted was you, in more ways then others. I am glad for your choice. Also writing is the only way I can express myself to.

I love it, this poem is true awsomeness. :)

[Heromen Selena]

Yeah when I post something like this on this website I get a lot of similar stories and it makes me feel better that I am not the only one who feels that way. Thank you for reading :)
