Maybe

Just something I thought of through one of my hardest breakups. I thought I should share

 

Maybe it would’ve been better to die then to watch you leave.
While you left I felt my heart being crushed
I was positive it would’ve hurt less to die.

Maybe I could’ve been happier if we’d never met.
Then I’d never have to deal with
Saying goodbye

Maybe I fell in love with you because you were the nicest one to me
I remember you always stuck up for me
When I was feeling down

Maybe there will be a day when the two of us can sit and talk
So I can really understand
What you’re thinking.

Maybe I wasn’t good enough for you
It really could’ve just been
All my fault.

Maybe you never loved me
And everything you did
Came from pity.

Maybe I was too engrossed in you to see it coming
Too absorbed with you
To see that we were falling apart at the seams.

But in all these maybes…
I will never know
I can’t regret
I can never regret….
I’ll have to wait and see
Because maybe this made me stronger

This one has gotten many reviews lol. I think it's because it's easy to relate to and everyone ws probably thinking about someone in their life. nd even if they hadn't they can still feel the pain and desire written in the poem. Which I think, is very cool. I try to do that in my writing. Like getting you really attached to a character and getting you in their head and then putting the character through some really tough time. Even if they aren't the main character. its very fun but kinda sad cuz even I get attached to the character and then if the story turns to a direction where the character dies I'd probably cry. Like Matthew in The Dream Weavers. If he somehow dies I would cry for a long time because I love Matthew. He's the deepest character and by far my favorite. Even if he isn't the main character and a bit of a sleaze bag at first... lol

A very powerful piece of writing. Those maybes are the hardest to deal with.

Very Strong and Emotional, Great Write.

Very nice self reflection on a relationship and a terrific ending where the wisdom gained by the author/subject makes a great payoff to the emotional turmoil he/she puts himself/herself through in getting there when pondering the relationship. Powerful. I loved it. It's poetry. Poetry doesn't have set grammar. From what I could see, it's fine as is. Thanks for sharing.
