To the end of my care.

'I kissed you because I missed you'

Is what he said to me

When I told him when he touched me

I could barely breathe.

 

He said that he was sorry,

My heart was never meant to break

But inside, now I've stopped the feeling

He was my mistake.

 

To think I actually loved him.

I don't know what to do..

When I actually had the courage to say

'All I want is you'

 

He did something I couldn't forgive.

It involved him and a friend.

I lost all emotion that second.

That;s when it came to an end.

 

I threw the ring onto the stairs,

Which took a lot of heart.

That's where I left my love that night.

Each and every part.

 

I guess there's a moral

To everything we do.

Everytime I think I want you back.

I'll remember how much I hate you..

 

Author's Note

The ring wasn't a engagement ring by the way..
Just a present from my ex to me. I am now free from any hold he ever had of me.

I've had this fight many of times - where I throw my ring & the feeling you get when you do that it's like your done & yet you are filled with so much love and someone has come and broken your heart so badly that it can never be repaired. I felt very emotional reading this because it takes me back to those times in my life. I don't understand how certain people can have no consideration for someone they are supposed to 'love'. It just angers me, but for you I see it brought out great pieces and they flow so greatly so maybe you did get something out of the hurt. Great write!

Nice story you tell here. Sometimes we may think we love someone, when really...we just need to figure out every flaw to make them seem just that much more not perfect for us. It's difficult to push someone away who we care about...but we always think of the good times instead of focusing on the bad. That's why we keep them around, even though they may not treat us the best. The thoughts of the good times is what makes us keep them around. It's better to have them there and ignore us instead of not having them at all.

I love how you ended with "I'll remember how much I hate you.." and kept the rest of the poem sweet a very awesome way to contrast these emotions

[Coyote Poetry]

Sometime the first emotion is the one you need to follow. Old wise saying. "You will catch a rat one time. Never a second time." I like the emotion and desire in your words. Love can trick us in believing someone can change. Hard to change people. They must want it too. A strong ending to a powerful poem.

I love the irony and the exquisite pain transcended through this poem. Giving up love is probably easy in some ways but the hate will remain. Unless healed with someone who earns it.

Love fades when least expected, good poem.

[Fenner]

Wow, I really enjoyed that. I think that this poem should be sold on a card so that we can all send one off to our evil ex's! haha
