Broken Heart
by on July 16, 2004 in Poetry

You’ve broken my heart
And now you’re asking
To be my friend?
Well I won’t give you that
I gave you everything
No, you feel what it’s like
To have your heart on the line
All your emotions left hanging
With no reply
It’s too late
It’s not fair
To do this to me
To say how wonderful I am
And how much you love me
You’re making it harder
You’re being selfish again
I’m trying to find closure
But you’re prying me open
By telling me all these things
That you couldn’t say before
When we were together
And what for?
So you feel less guilty?
So you can sleep at night?
While I toss and turn
Aching inside?
I won’t call
I won’t write
I won’t make this okay
You need to feel what life is like
Without me day-to-day
You need to realize how much
You took for granted
You need to feel lonely
You need to question
You need to look inside
And learn
To take care of yourself
Be a man
Know what you need
And then go fight for it
Pay off all your debt
And get your life together
And maybe then you’ll be able to give
In your next relationship better
I’ve dealt with your confusion
And instability long enough
Leave me alone
Please
So I stop hurting so much
