Time to Let Go

This is not from a personal experience, I was given a prompt from a friend and wrote from what I thought the experience would be like. So if it seems a bit off, please take that into consideration =]

I met you one day while hanging out with some new friends.

I didn't notice you until someone pointed you out.

You became more obvious after awhile.

You intrigued me…. The effect you had on all the people….

But I was too scared to let you into my life.

I didn't know how to go about it…. I've never to spoken to anything like you.

One day though everyone was gone and it was just me and you….

I decided to possibly give you a chance…. see how you acted with me.

I felt like a different person. 

You made me happy.

You accepted me for all my flaws.

You made me feel like there was no one better then me.

You completed me. 

But then you started to change me…..

I couldn't do anything unless I was with you.

I craved you, I needed you, and you were so willing to be with me.

But then you started to take over control…… 

You called for me when I wanted to be alone. 

You guilted me when I wasn't with you and made me regret it later.

My friends stopped talking to me cause I was with you all the time and finally I have enough. 

I am letting you go….

You were so attractive at first, you made me want you so bad.

But the most attractive things turn ugly at some point, and now is that point. 

So I say goodbye… It was fun while it lasted, but now there is no more fun.

I am putting down the needle.

[John Fitzgerald]

Very nice account of what drug reliance can be like. Well done.

[Daniel DeLorez]

I don't think that anyone actually understood the meaning of this poem... It's obviously about shooting up. I will admit, I thought that you were talking about a guy until I read the last line... but that's the point, isn't it? Great write. :)

[KAREN]

This was an emotional heartfelt write. I belive letting go is best even though it hurts. Nobody should change for anybody! Excellent write!

[Violetta Alexis]

I really liked how you talked about this person like he/she was an object and not a human being.

"I've never spoken to anything like you."

Makes you wonder what you're really referring to. Definitely liked it. It lacked complexity, however, I think that's exactly how this poem should have played out anyway. Well done.
