Bitter Victory

I love how writing a poem can make you feel SO much better

I'm not a strong person,
stop saying I am.
Stop telling me you love me,
when you don't give a damn.

I don't care if you're sorry,
or if you want me back.
I gave you my heart,
only to be told that I lack.

Yes I love you,
and yes this does hurt.
But I'd rather love me,
than be treated like dirt.

I know this hurts you,
and that I wish I could change.
But I have to look out for me,
even though it feels strange.

I don't want to say we're over,
because it breaks my heart.
But it's hard to love a boy,
who won't do his part.

Saying you love me,
saying you'll always be there...
It's nothing but words,
it doesn't prove that you care.

I'm done playing your games,
they stopped being fun.
For once I'm admitting defeat,
be happy...you finally won.

Finding the strength to walk away from a bad scene is always filled with the bittersweet. But it is a strength though, one that can be hard to find. I believe it's better to have loved and failed and learned, than loved and stayed in a losing battle.

Admitting your defeat is strength. I congratulate you for making the best decision. Loving someone who doesn't deserved is like fooling yourself. Glad you've escaped from his shadow.

Nice concept. I love this piece. Keep going.
