Her/Me

My ex-boyfriend is STILL kind of a terrible person.

I hope you don't hurt anyone,

except yourself.

I hope your boredom with life

a c h e s  in your bones.

She

's my replacement,

but I care about how you treat her

because it reflects how you treated

me.

Four years later 

you still choose the

"worthless" girl

instead of the one in front of 

you.

The same exact stupid mistake.

The same exact stupid mistake.

If I could protect your girl,

I'd use my body as a shield.

No one deserves to feel the way I did.

To starve,

emotionally, physically.

She deserves care and

compassion and

patience and

security and

love.

But I know you can't give

all those things

to her

because you couldn't give them

to me.

I am sorry he treated you so badly, and I am sure he will continue his behavior as you say. Some people never change. On the upside he gave you fuel to write this beautiful poem. I thought the crossed out "The same exact stupid mistake." lines were very clever. Keep writing it was a great read.

Thank you so much:) If there is one thing I can accredit him with, it's material for angry poems;P

You can't protect everyone from the big bad wolf/world, she has to make her own mistakes and find out for herself, I felt where you were coming from though...the pain lingers on and on...

[Rachel Mason]

That is very true. I wrote this out of anger on a slight inkling that he may be cheating on her with the girl he cheated on me with. It is clearly not 100% resolved in my mind. Thanks for reminding me of the truth of the matter.

Probably is if he cheated on you....I know the type, believe me.
