Perfection

You hurt me but you loved me so?
It was foolish to believe that such feelings you craved
Would ever come out of me!

You’re not the one I say, something’s really not right!
You reply you’re not perfect, don’t put up such a fight!
You wine me, you dine me…we settled in for the sad ride

You never were loved the way you should be
And then along came me

To recreate such sadness
In your heart and mine
I’m sorry, I was so blind

You filled my need
For comfort and care
I filled your need
I was a dream you would say

Little did we know
Your desire to control
Was my deepest need
To break out of this shell

In turn your dream slipped from your grasp
You never were perfect, I know, nobody is
But don’t go telling me I’m not to suck me in!

Someone should love you
But it’s clearly not me
You’ve got to love yourself first
And not accept such withholding

How could you let me be such a jerk?
We are treated the way we let folks treat us
The vibrations we send out come back to us
I’m sorry I wasn’t strong enough then to see
That I was not the one who was meant to be

You're not the one I say, something's really not right!
You reply you're not perfect, don't put up such a fight!
I know this isn't a funny topic at all, but these two lines above made me laugh out loud~the biting sarcasm comes through loud and clear.
This reads like a very cleansing piece, and as it is said somewhere below, too many of us can relate to the madness that is relationships.
Luckily, the shrouds don't keep our sight blind forever. Good luck.

Great job on this one. Like that you go this out and put it out. You needed this for you. More please!

Interesting! I'll bet you're wondering who can really relate to THIS poem, eh? (hint hint) This is kind of what I'm going through except the boy isn't trying to "Suck" the girl "In" :P You can totally tell I like this one! :) good work!

Well expressed, I believe many of us have been in relationships like the one penned here. Thanks for sharing.
