Same

how is it that you possess the ability to hurt me

with as little as a word

a glance

I don't know why I thought this

would be different than before

 

I got out of that situation

hoping to make a fresh start

with new people

and new feelings

 

But it turns out that you're

the same as her

 

She made me feel miserable

for the four years i knew her

she criticized me

pointed out all the things wrong with me

treated me as if i was her slave

 

You are doing the same thing

I thought you were different

But you're not

I should have learned not to get close

Because in the end,

There is only pain

[Poetic Beauty]

The is a strong statement to make and a sad statement as well. Love is only for the strong for it gives people the ability to crush us with mere words. It gives them the ability to make us feel special or the ability to make us feel worthless. This is an easy poem to read.

[Coyote Poetry]

Poem is powerful and a sad story. Negative words can break down a wall of love. Sometime we are lucky and learn before we are in too deep. Better to allow the bad weight to disappear. Tomorrow is another day. Maybe something good to be had. A excellent poem.

i liked it. however towards the end, (this is just an honest opinion) it got a little whiny.. the everyone hurts me part. end it with a bang... end it with.. "this will be the last time, and I know i've said that before"
otherwise, a very nice, honest (which is the best thing in poetry in my opinion) write.
