What you really are

I've been bottling up what I feel towards someone.. He's gone now and I really do believe it. Although it hurts to have lost such an amazing person, it's also nice because he had more than one side..

I said I loved you,
You said it back.
We got together,
It didn't last.
You said you loved me later on,
I said it back.
We got together.. Lasted a few days.
You said you loved me once more..
I didn't say it back this time,
I really wanted to!
The next day was your birthday,
I couldn't take it!
I said I loved you,
You said it back..
We lasted 5 or so days..
You said you loved me but have been with other girls in between..
I'm sick of the way you change!
One minute you love me and we're together..
The next you pay attention to other girls followed by us ending.
Are you for real?
Do you understand what you're doing?
It's hurting me this bad..
I wish you could see,
I wish you could tell me what's going on..
This may seem selfish to you as I've been as much to blame,
But know this,
I will always love you, now and always.

Get used to it, babycakes! I've found more often than not, people are exactly like what you're describing here! Especially those of the testosterone persuasion *smile* Men change when testosterone kicks in, which negates whatever longterm ideas they may have had. And your poem shows us this fluctuation so well. I especially love the specificity of the back-and-forths (it lasted "x days") . . . oh how true this can be, when a relationship is sputtering into oblivion. Another strong point of your writing is that you include everyday details that we all recognize. Good job!
