Battered and Bruised

I have recently broken up with my boyfriend.. we were engaged and everything felt perfect.. but I was wrong.. and now I miss him like crazy..

I thought..

*lets out a shaky breath*

That we'd be perfect.
That we'd always be together,
and that no matter what
it'd always be me and you..

I loved you.
I poured my heart out for you.
I gave you all I had,
and yet you said,
"Prove to me that you love me."
.....

I tried.
I beat myself up because
I never felt perfect enough for you.
You meant everything to me,
and when you looked at me and said,
"I don't know how I feel about us anymore.."
It felt like everything fell apart.
I felt my heart skipping beats, and stopping,
like a muscian off beat.
I cried in your car next to you,
and you didn't show one thing of emotion..

So I ended it
to take away your pain.
But now I'm left here crying myself sick.
Spinning the ring you gave me.
Wearing your shirt to bed.
Missing you.
Thinking about you.
Loving you.
Wondering if you're hurt as much as I am.
Wondering where a year and almost 7 months has gone.
So where did it go? Huh?
Tell me.

I don't know the answer to that,
but I do know one thing.
I have had my heart broken before.
But I have NEVER been left
Battered and Bruised.

Author's Note

The rhythm may seem a bit off, but I'm just ranting. I'm going through so many emotions on my own and I don't know how to handle it.

It's a sad poem. I think it's definitely therapeutic to write in order to heal. Right now it is tough and for a few months it may be but remember after some time you will feel free and this will just be a memory.

It just hurts like hell.

[Lyan]

Yea, it will hurt:( but all in good time it will be better.

So I have been told. I'm just taking it day by day. I just want to forget.

Yea, it's good that your taking it day by day. Def the way to go. Think of it this way, its their loss not yours.

:( awe such a sad poem, I can feel your heartbreak throughout, I hope you get to feeling better soon. Getting your feelings out through writing seems to help, but I know it is tough, stay strong and keep your chin up.
