Better Off

once again I am all alone 

without you here by my side 

sure I miss  your lips upon mine 

holding you at night knowing 

that all was fine 

thought you were different 

I guess I am better off now 

I was hoping for my forever 

but you didn't see it like that 

you claimed you were not the same 

yet you left me behind like the res 

I am better off now that your gone 

our memories I wlll treasure 

hope your happier without me 

I used to miss you and I 

now some time has passed me by 

I realize now that you were a mistake 

now I know that we were wrong 

I am better off now

Seeing through the pain and realising things happen for a reason. We can learn by our mistakes. A relatable poem.

I certainly believe some people are in our lives as a lesson and this certainly sounds like one of those times! A well written piece I think many of us can identify with!

some people stay in unhealthy relationships because they are afraid to be alone, or will not find another to love....but once we wise-up enough to get out of what is bad...we do find we are better off.
i like the sentiment here.

I like very nice flow of your words. The message is very clear. You find it real reason what all went it wrong. It's very strong testament. To feel you cannot be with that person anymore and still feel affection forward to person. Very deep strong write.
