Its hard collecting my thoughts with this piece. Sorry if its scattered. And by the way, this is more "spoken words" than poetry. Sort of poetry slam/prose.

"Hurt" is used in numerous ways

but the way I'm most familiar with

is when the person that I'm falling for

tells me that they never wanted to hurt me.

Where is he now?

There are so many girls in the world

that want the exact same thing as me

how do you learn to deal with something

that's beyond your insecurities

and passed what you can control?

Every person has a special person in their life

and sometimes you can come in at the wrong time

but then you realize there was always going to be

a wrong time.

When you aren't over someone

it shows in your actions

and the way you look at the girl that 

adores you.

There is always going to be someone

that is better than you

but in what ways? 

Missing someone is usually apart of letting go

but what happens when the pain of missing someone

turns into a obsession

where all you can think about is him?

"You could do so much better than him"

but who is good enough for me?

There will always be a flaw 

that others choose to bring forward.

How can you be alone without him

if you've been alone all your life?

I didn't have a chance even before it started

playing games always ends in a victory

but I'm not sure who won.

Who took who's heart?

I'm scared that this time

you won't come back

to give me back what you stole from me

when will you swallow your pride?

Or, better yet, when will my pride swallow you?

Key insecurities that I read into were being afraid that you're not good enough, that someone else could replace you. Being unsure if the love you have is returned. Fear of disappointment too.
I like this piece because it's just so relatable, we all have fears and insecurities about our lives and love especially. A very 'real' piece. Nice work.

This poem seems to have different moods throughout the whole thing; I like that. +Sometimes you seem desperate, angry, helpless...it seemed to be a very smart take on human nature...I don't know if that's what you were going for, but that's what I got out of it. Great poem!!

Every person has a special person in their life

a wrong time.

I believe to open up to another and give all is very hard. Fear of sadness and disappointment make us run from love and goals. Pride is a two sided coin. Keep us safe and block opportunity. A heart is never lost. Just waiting for a day when it feel safe and secure to appear. I liked being alone. I marry at 36 years old. I liked the freedom to travel and move at will. Pride and disappointment can lead you to a bad place. Better to forgive and move on. A very good poem. Made old Coyote think. A excellent poem.
