Why

Out of my worst nightmare I became stronger.

Why'd you do it?

You took my heart and tore it in two.

You deceived me and said you loved me.

I never wanted to be hurt.

I feared it.

I thought...

I thought we would be everlasting,

and now that it's finished,

I can never make up my mind.

I cry when I think about how badly you hurt me

and how I miss you.

You caused my worst break down

I tried my best not to show it.

I put on a smile and cried on the inside.

I'll even admit I had to numb myself from the tenderness.

You almost destroyed me.

And I wished I had never met you,

But I'm glad I did.

Because through all the tears, pain, lies

You made me stronger.

This poem is another good one. A lot of people have been through this. In this poem a lot of people can relate to it. You can feel the pain and the sadness coming from the poem. To put on a mask, and act like you're fine is really hard, but a lot of people do it. Well done =)

I like this poem a lot!
Really nicely written, the ending was great too!

Beautiful! I like the words you use to describe the pain you feel and the strength you have found because of the pain someone else caused.

It's definitely one of those live and learn deals. Your experiences make you learn from them and in essence become stronger. Nice work!

Hm, I wasn't expecting the ending. and that's a good thing.
quite honestly, I thought it was going to be one of the usual "you hurt me, I hate you" rants, but you got my respect by taking a step forward and admitting the truth.

I can really relate to this one. I can feel the pain and suffering coming from the poem and can really tell that this person hurt you bad. Good job.
