Need Is Not Needed

Today was just terrible, being lied to is not a fun experience.

Broken promises, shattered dreams

None of this is new to me.

There goes my heart,

I’m really gonna miss her

What ever happened to being “sisters”?

What happened to being a “brother”?

Do all of you think I’m stupid?

Let me tell you something,

I’m not made of stone; I’ll never be a rock

I guess my feelings are just something to mock.

Did you think I wouldn’t realize?

Well, guys, that’s where your mistaken.

Because I know I’m not faking

All the pain you’ve caused inside of my being.

Yet now instead of individuals, both of you are “we”,

But I don’t think that’s fair to me.

It’s been quite a while with all this attachment,

I’m in love with you, and you’re infatuated with her.

I have a feeling I’m going to wake up and this will be a mental blur,

But when I wake up I know this is no dream;

It’s me in all my reality.

 

“Wake up, stupid girl.

You’ll never get what you want.”

But what if what I want is who I need?

 But is need more than just a strong want?

Well that void in my heart is because of him.

When is it going to be my turn to win?

I “need” you

Yet I don’t

I “want” you

But I won’t.

 

Take her and be happy,

That’s all I want from you

Because you know what they say:

If you love something, let it go.

I think it’s my turn to let you go,

Because I love you so.

What a lovely flow....sounds like you're asking yourself these questions, and you're searching for the answers. I hope you find your answers.
Letting go of love is a hard thing to do, especially to someone else. Relatable poem here, and relatable poetry can be the best of poetry, and I think this counts. You've done very well, I liked it :)

I thought this was great. I don't believe you should change anything. I loved the flow of the poem. The rhythm of this was good too. I know that you love this person and it hurts that he doesn't love you. Overall I thought this piece was nicely written. Thanks for sharing. :)

I like it and tis true if you love something you have to let go. We can't make someone love us anymore than we can make ourselves love someone we don't.......well written. Amazing what strong emotions will bring us to pen, eh?

Sometime to release someone. Allow us to be able to free. Free of sadness in time.
"I’m not made of stone; I’ll never be a rock
I guess my feelings are just something to mock."
Sometime better to smile and walk away. I like the ending to a excellent poem.

I really enjoyed this. I can understand your anger and frustration. people who mess with other people's emotions like that are horrible and they go through life thinking that it is okay and that they have done nothing wrong, when truly and honestly they have, they just refuse to see it. This was a great poem. It is going into my favorites.
