Closure

I made my fair share of mistakes
One was believing the lies you told
Allowing you to break my heart

And I can chose to dwell on those mistakes
I can sit around
And cry over spilled milk

I confess to giving too much of myself to you
But I would be lying
If I said I would do it any different

Ok so you broke my heart
But you were there when I needed you
You dried my tears
And made me laugh

Ok so you turned your back on me
But you made me smile
When I only wanted to cry
You made me happy

Ok so you broke under the judgments of others
But cared for me
When I needed someone to care for me
You made my week with just a phone call

Fine you made me cry
But you always said
What I needed to hear
Which helped me make it through the day

We didn't last
And I would be lying if I said my wounds are all healed
But I stand here before you now
Asking

Can we have no more regrets
No more bad memories
Just shake hands
And dwell on the good we brought to each other

If even only for a lasting moment....

Author's Note

I need closure I need it bad, my heart was smashed into a million pieces, put back together then smashed again. Then I was laughed at while I tried to put the pieces back together, and I am still trying to put the pieces back together. And this poem said everything I want to say to my ex. And the sound of this song helped me write it even though the words don't really mix well

Pros: Ah, I can feel the pain in this and it reminds me of a relationship I just got out of where an old flame came back into the picture and the person realized they loved them more. It hurt, and I'm still trying to let go. I think that makes this poem hurt more for me. Anyway, I like the flow of this poem and the story it tells. And I love the lines in the middle that start with "Ok." They're my favorite. And the emotion conveyed in this poem calls out to me and touches my wounded heart. It hurts, but such a connection is nice.

Cons: In the second stanza, I think "chose" should be "choose."

Overall: You conveyed your pain quite well, got your emotions across. Sure, it hurt to read, but that just means you did a great job :)

Hope you get better. = I liked this poem very much because it reminds me of my friend Michael. We don't talk anymore, but when we did... your poem pretty much stated how he was like... But anyways, FEEL BETTER.!

Your poem was really sad Sarah. I hope you get better real soon.
I loved the video you put up to go with it. I can see where you
could write this listening to it.

It will get better I promise.

good job sarah. if you can say it FULLY then you will be able to move on...but more importantly you will accomplish your purpose of taking your reader there...that IS the reason you are writing these things, no?

This is beautiful! While I have a slightly different story, I can still relate to it very well. It's wonderfully written, and the title is very direct and appropriate.
