Life Lesson

They say out of sight out of mind

If that's the case, you would be blind
Oblivious to see what I would do for you
Although I know that deep down you knew
I would have gone to hell and back

Love all that you have and even what you lack

But I was unaware you were so easy to steal
Which makes me wonder if your love was even real

Could I have acted in a different way?
Would it have made you stay?

Thoughts swim around in my head

With all the words you ever said

Knowing she will hear the same

And you have replaced me with her name

Someone who is different than me

Someone with whom you suddenly wanted to be

It is in her life that you currently belong

And it is not because of something I had done wrong

I know my heart isn't what you earned
You were simply my life lesson to be learned

When I first started reading I didn't expect it to turn into a heartbreak poem! The diction was pleasant and it's easily relatable to a lot of people. The pacing was off a bit in some lines (for instance, lines "But" and "Which") but nothing strongly noticeable. A good read!

Thank you for your review! Always handy to receive feedback, because it often includes things you wouldn't see as the writer of a piece yourself. Especially when it comes to grammar & sentence flow etc for me personally haha so I appreciate it :)
