nothing but cry

at times it's hard to accept that after everything, they left you. but sometimes, it's ok, bcause you find out there was nothng there, just a pic you kept trying to paint. other times, they come back.

i didn't want explanations. i didn't want you to walk away. i didn't want a new boy. i wanted you.

you didn't want this relationship. you didn't want me to stay. you didn't want this girl, here. you wanted her.

all i want now is to do nothing but cry, to sit and yell, scream and shout, from now on, that's what i'm about. it was amazing how you played me, how you said you loved me, i believed it, now look and see. your gone, you left, this burden off my chest, but honestly, i did it for the best, and i didn't mind. i kept you with me, always re-adjusting, and when i finally got it right, you left my sight.

all you want to do is go show her off, that new girl on your arm, with the heels of pink, a brain that don't think, and a body that's too light to sink. you don't care if she can't dance, if she ruined your pants, or if she can cook at all. it's amazing how she looks, she doesn't hit the books, you love her beauty, even though she's not witty. you don't even love her, your still hooked on the past, she's just a little toy, you'll break her fast.

i see you by mistake, without your little keepsake, and you say your sorry after all. you slip your hand in mine, we don't listen to the laughs behind, because we know, that we're the show. i think of whether to take you back, then i think of what you lack, decide i'll sew you back together, and you make a promise to stay with me forever.

wow. nice job! i think what makes a poem good is if it can remind the reader of something in their life, or if it at least brings back some kind of emotion. well this definatly did it for me! great job, keep on writing
