Forget Each Other

He treated me like s**t,

He treated me like a king's jester,

He didn't care about me.

The way he loved me,

broke my heart and bruised my bones

I treated him like he was my everythting...

because he was

I treated him like a King

I tried to care about him

but he made it impossible.

Maybe I made it impossible too,

I know I was too clingy to him sometimes

I shouldn't have ignored him when I was mad

Maybe...

Maybe the way I loved him pushed him away from me forever...

So...we should just forget each other now.

Young and managing feelings wrapped in love and the idea of love. Definitely painful when love squandered. Guard yourself, dont go too deep with shallow people. Save yourself for the one that deserves your full love. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully you are healing

Dear Babygurl, when someone don't appreciate and they don't adore your craziness. They don't deserve you.
"Maybe the way I loved him pushed him away from me forever...
So...we should just forget each other now."
The above lines I have asked myself. It seem the bad love make our mind and heart things, we cannot have. You need someone who accept you as-is and they can make you smile. I liked the honest thoughts and thank you for sharing your amazing poetry and your thoughts.

I think you are on the right path. In many ways poetry is a journey into self-discovery, and the problems you talk about require intense self-analysis to overcome. There are reasons why we react emotionally as we do-I like to call these reasons "strings" because they tie all the way back to our toddler days - something that was painful to that 1 or 2 year old is similar in nature that something that occurs in the life at 15 and suddenly you are intensely feeling that 2 years old's emotions again- strings, like I say. The psychologists tell us these strings can never be broken. You have to learn to understand them so you can manage them.

So great that you put your pain down onto paper.
You are quite young and I know that you will never believe me, but things do get oh so much better as you get older.
My life with all my many loves was never easy... you need to remember that the one you cared about is probably quite young to and not sure where he is headed.
Just keep writing and lay all your feeling down... This will help you so much with your pain...
As my mother always said.. The are always more fish in the sea..

Wise words in conclusion, BG 🤓

It's a shame some relationships that begin so beautifully often turn out so ugly, but this is how we learn, and every time it happens it becomes easier to know when to quickly recognize a relationship that is not going to work. In this way we become smart enough to avoid certain individuals, despite how appealing they might seem … saving a lot of hurt and unnecessary heartache, too.

This is a well-written, mature, and highly intelligent warning for those of us who need it most.
It's great therapy, too, to write something like this and read it back to yourself as a good reminder … this is the power of poetry for yourself and others.

Hints: For an improved Free Verse piece, maybe, some of the lines could be split and made shorter. And, consider spaces between verses to keep it from rushing one line into the next, giving time for your readers to think … just my teacher's eye thinking out loud. : )

It is a tough title and message, BG, but ohhh-so important for us all.
Thank you for sharing your blossoming skills, Lady-Poet! ⁓ Richard🖌

This lady named Dr Tracey Marks has a youtube channel I think you should get into. There is a saying, "forewarned is forearmed"... I didn't know I was a somewhat crazy person until I was in my mid thirties, and by then it was too late.
