Jake

He just doesn't get it. He is so mad at her that he won't even think about what she is going through.

Jake,
I am so sorry
That this had to happen

I never planned for things to end this way
I never wanted to lose you
Or even hurt you

Jake,
Please don't be mad
I can't stand you being hurt
It just kills me inside

I know you love me
And you can't get past the memories
Of us together

But Jake,
I don't love you the way I used to
The fire that we shared
Burned out

You were my best friend
And at one time my boyfriend
But now were nothing

Jake,
I am sorry you have to go through this
I know its not easy for you
But what makes you think its any easier for me

Everyday I go on loving someone else
And you continue to keep on loving me
Each and every day

Jake,
You keep saying you hate me
And that you should just get out of my life
But I don't want that

You and I both know that we cant leave each other
Its just not possible to just say goodbye
We share too many memories

Jake,
I am sorry for what is happening
But someday I hope you will understand
That what I am going through is not so easy either

I hope one day
You will be able to find someone to love
Just like I have
......

wow, really cool great nice poem but its so sad also. I felt the feeling of the poem thats mean you did a great job on this poem with your honest feelings to make us feel it. I guess, your friend just need time to understand. Great writing, well done

This is good, I like how it's a love/break up letter but a poem at the same time. I hope that everything turns out well for the both of you. Keep writing! :) 100/100

omg this is soooooooo sad! It's kind of weird because i have a cousin named jake, and i did something bad to him, not on purpose though. I always kept wanted to apologize! but i dont love him like that, though, so i guess i dont understand.......

we all hope he will...its good top get over things and fires that burn out...

ahhh. so confusing.not the poem - the situation. i am almost in exactly the same situation and it kills me! i know what you mean babe. just remember to follow you're heat AND your head. in the end, both matter. and sometimes they protect each other. your heart will protect your mind from going insane. and your mind will tell you how to keep your heart safe when you have to.

Nicely written. I like the letter format and the way you repeat his name.

[Elissa; the genuine art..]

This sounds like a difficult situation (one I have definitely experienced)
It really is quite the hassle.
"You were my best friend
And at one time my boyfriend
But now we're nothing"
Some people just can't take the time to put themselves in other people's shoes.
Great write :D

It's so understandable, yet so upsetting people can be so...unreasonable. It's just not right when people think that what they are going through is so much worse than what you are going through. I am very sympathetic for you. Very nice write.

Beautiful...the emotions make me feel like I am going to cry.

This is a great poem fill with emotions that paint a portrait. The details are great and I love how you made it like a letter.
