The last time

Tears peaked over my eyes. 

Threatening to give away the truth. 

You grab my hand. 

Gliding your thumb across my skin.

You give it a gentle squeeze. 

I hug you, and wish I didn't feel so complete.

You intertwine your leg.

With mine. 

I ask for a kiss.

You give that cocky grin.

That I use to love. 

And lean in. 

I whisper I love you. 

And hear you say it too. 

Though I know you never will the way I want you too. 

And then I pull away and cry. 

'Cause this is the last time. 

The last time I will hear the lies through your lips, though it still felt good. 

The last time I'd analyze your hands, your lips.

The last time I'd look into those blue eyes and feel butterfilies. 

Because I'm done. 

I know the truth now. 

The rest is obscure. 

You've left me so vunerable. 

I feel terribly insecure. 

I won't let you completley break me down though. 

This is my heart. 

My life.

My love to give. 

And I'm taking it from you. 

I don't want your false hope. 

Nor do I want your kiss. 

I will forever hold you in my memmories. 

Those this is for certain. 

My heart will never be yours. 

Forever is much shorter than I thought. 

Love is a lie from your lips. 

Dying isn't such bliss,

as I use to think it was. 

Kill me

Break me

Leave me

I don't need you. 

I tell my mind to shut up. 

He won't come back. 

This isn't a fairytale.

Where he'll change. 

He's wrapped up in his self. 

Hurting everyone else. 

Blind to the slightest things. 

And yet I still let him break me.

There is a deep connection that love creates, that even in pain it persists.. it grips tight to our memories.. You convey this so well.. this sense of letting go, yet clinging tight. Excellent.

This is such a sad sorrowful piece,of loving someone so, and yet knowing they do not feel the same. Great emotion in the content.

The emotion shows through in this poem, and there's a great storyline in there. I personally am not such a fan of long poems, but that's just me… One thing I do have to say, is that you shouldn't put periods at the end of every line. Ignoring those periods, the flow is great, but with them, the writing sounds very chunky.

Other than that, great job! :)
