I Hope It Was Worth It

I Hope It Was Worth It

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

I felt it all, inside and out, and when you broke it off, I became a shell with a gaping hole...the piece of me you stole.

"
I felt you forget me
But I forgave you.

I heard the hurt inside me
But at least it healed you.

I know you saw my tears
But you stood there, amused.

I tasted pain and blood
But it was because you took it from yourself and gave it to me.

I smelled my own sorrow
But you stared at me blankly.

I reached out to touch you
But you shook your head tentatively.

I squeaked in pain
But you passed by me then.

And after time passed and I died inside
You survived, triumphant in your success of ridding yourself of me.

I hope it all was worth it.

Don't know if it was worth it, but the poem was definitely worth writing. I believe the first line should have been "I felt you forgot me". But all in all the poems nice, not fabulous or awesome but good, maybe a little short of great.

Not going to rate it though but thanks for blessing us with your creativoty.

A really good piece, I can relate to the pain of having someone you truly care about use you and toss you away, never regarding your feelings. It's a horrible, horrible thing and I wouldn't wish it to anyone, not even my worst enemy. You captured that feeling well. Great job!

I can feel the pain. Take heart tho, for it will fade and the true beauty inside of yourself will become clear.
