All The Things You've Said

I wrote this for a guy I dated that was verbally abusive.

Do it then talk about it

For you spit boxing is where it’s at

Nothing changes if nothing changes

You’re living proof of that

You acknowledge your wrongdoings

Yet you fail to do what’s right

Double standards and hypocrisy

Your mode of operation day and night

So tired of  ‘I’m sorry’

For things that continue once said

Rather than love and live on

I’m gonna love and leave instead

You say I need to get somewhere

That I’m a joke and take up space

With you I go in circles

While you stay in the same place

You will be remembered

And your memory will not be erased

All the things you’ve said

Will be forgotten

And you will be replaced

Good to release negative people.

I like the honest and direct feel of the words. I like the closing lines. Good to replace the bad people in our life. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Awesome rhyme. I love your poetry. Seriously, you should be published.

You tell him KJ. Another finely crafted piece. Very nice.

There is such a horror in both verbally and physically abusive situations.. that the one who should move love you and guard over you becomes the enemy.. May you now find yourself loved beyond measure, dear poet.

Loving and leaving is a difficult, but necessary decision at times. Nice work - you bare your soul in all your pieces.

Moving on may be hard, but needed in order to grow and live. Nice!

Oh a bitter ending but at least you took control
