Heart Breaker

I wrote this poem when I made the decision to move away from my Ex, who wanted me to stay near him as a friend, while he was with another girl. He read this and asked if I meant it- how could he ask?

Heart Breaker
SheaRyhai © 2011

Tides are turning
I am learning
Not to trust in anyone.
They are lying
No denying
Russian roulette with a gun.

It’s enough that
You regret that
You ever took a chance on me.
And I’m trying
To stop crying
So that you can be happy.

You don’t have anything I want.
I don’t have anything you need.
So say “goodbye”
Or “see you later”
Every promise that was made.
Every lie will be repaid.
You're a Heart Breaker. .
You’re a Heart Breaker !

All those memories
Burning through me
At the coldness of your touch.
Well I’m sorry
To make you worry
And that my love was not enough.

Say you love me
As you push me
In every direction but to you.
Say you want me
As you leave me
You’re only making me confused.

You don’t have anything I want.
I don’t have anything you need.
So say “goodbye”
Or “see you later”.
There is no point in asking how
When I see you running to her now.
You’re a Heart Breaker. .
You’re a Heart Breaker !

I think I saw this at one point on Quizzy... hm. *reareads anyway*
Cohesive formatting and enough emotion to make this poem... how do I say this... tangible enough for the reader to relate to it. You did your feelings back then justice, Shea. :) Keep up the good work.

Liked this hope all has progressed from this

The feelings really shines through, like the words are jumping out at me. I know how you feel, when that happens, and you described my emotions that particular time. And to my friend I say, "well done!'

[Ms.Rodgers]

This would be beautiful as a song. It flows really well.
"They're lying
No denying
Russian Roulette with a gun"
Beautifully pieced together. The meaning behind this is strong. Wonderful piece, keep up the good work.

Very beautiful yet sad :((( I read the meaning behind this and I must say I'm really sorry you have to go through this... All I can say I know how it feels when the Ex abounded you and broke also your heart (not to mention when someone in 2 months is hiding the truth to tell you that is over....) but also it's really sad and disappointed when you put so many unspoken words on the paper and show the Ex and yet he just show that behavior, girl, you deserve better even more than you imagine!

nice work

Experience shapes our character and makes us who we our. (Most of the time) You've configured your thoughts around someone justly so and the thoughts you've expressed are something people can relate to as I can clearly see. This is a nice poem of strenth, and resignation of an old love unworthy of your time, and you've learned a hard lesson in that love you can now share. Nice job Shea.

That's a really nice poem. The presentation is interesting. The flow is very good. From my point of view, the use of straightforward emotion and metaphors are very well balanced and allow us to measure and feel a little of your pain... though we can never understand it completely because we are not in your shoes.
I believe that going through dark times has its rewards. Once you beat the monster that dwells in you, and you will or probably already have, you become stronger than you've ever been before.
Keep moving forward! :)

It's very rare to see such detail when each line ends so quickly, it forces the reader to flow through it and ensures they grasp it 1st time.... Very well done

It is sad and moving but very good.
