Ode to Sarah

This poem is dedicated to the girl who broke my heart. I hope she enjoys it.

I saw a picture

Of you and your new boyfriend

And I started hyperventillating.

My tears flow freely

As waves of my sorrow

Break on the beaches of my mind.

 

My hands shake

As I write this out

And I try my best

To think of ways to hate you

For what you've done to me

But I can't manage it.

 

Because in truth,

Your the best thing

That ever happened to me.

And now your the most painful.

 

All I ever wanted was your love

But maybe I was a fool to try

Because look at what I've become

I can't even look a picture of the two of you.

My heart aches and my tears flow

As I write this.

 

I dont know why you've done this.

But I hope you had a really f*****g good reason

Because I want nothing to do with you.

 

I dont want to be your friend

I dont want to see you and your boyfriend

I dont want to see you

I dont want to talk to you

I dont want anything to do with you

 

Maybe if I do this

You might feel some of the pain

That you've inflicted on my shattered heart

And feel some remorse for the deeds you've done.

 

I wasn't lying

When I wished the two of you the best

Because I want the best for you

Because though my heart is torn to pieces

I still love you

 

But I loved the old you

Because I don't know

This stranger that talks to me now

Because the you I knew

Would never had done this

Even to your worst enemy

But maybe I'm worse than that to you.

 

So this is goodbye

Because I am done with you

And I want nothing to do with you

 

I love you

I hate you

love the ending " I love you. I hate you" sums the betrayal, the hurt, the heat of rejection quite nicely. Why are the ones who won't love us the way we love them the hardest to get over? Well, I suppose we should be grateful...what would we have to write about?!?! I suppose our heartaches area great deal of what makes us who we are. Who would we be if we only had happiness in our lives? Probably boring, less passionate, less inspired! She'll look back with regret one day. Oh, she may not wish she had done anything differently. She may not feel remorse...BUT what goes around comes around and eventually we all get our come -uppance!

I won't say that I enjoyed this experience. I think that because of my own wounds HEALING that this
was a sharp knife with jagged edges dragging slowly across my flesh.
Excellent display of your emotions.
Be well my friend!

Splendid. Just, splendid. You should reverse the love, hate last line. You'll find someone else buddy. Just wait. And pray.

what if there was no betrayal,life would have no taste ,no tears ,laments breakdowns,it would be easy silly quiet
life,with betrayal,there is always someone we hate someone we cry for though he does not deserve or even if she desrves,women play on our nerves ,you have to understand them so you keep them near ,they would go here and there if you will not give them what they want and that you can not do if you do not understand them well,and that my friend is not easy ,for they are not easy though beautiful but difficult to understand
