It's Not You It's Me

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2010 with permission of the Author.

It only took the first two lines
to make the tears come out of my eyes.
They poured out and wouldn't stop.
What I read was a total shock.

You said, "Its not you, it's me,"
but it didn't take me long to see
that it is me and not you,
and I am the reason we are through.

You completely broke my heart.
I never wanted us to part,
but now we are, and I wonder why.
All I really want to do is cry.

My bleeding heart is more that hurt,
but I hide it by talking dirt.
I say things I don't mean.
and all I do is cause a big scene..

I may say I hate you, but the truth is
that I hate when you leave me like this,
slowly dying
and my insides crying.

I love you, and nothing will ever change that,
but it's hard to live with the fact
that you're really gone
and I have to move on.

I really miss the way I felt with you,
and anymore I don't know what to do.
I never wanted it to end,
because I love you more than you can imagine.

This poem remind me of the time I was with my boyfriend and I thought we was going to be together forever but he ended up breaking up just because of something he thought was going on and he was wrong. Today is 12/10/13 and I am soo over him but the fact is his girlfriend is not so not better than me but I wish them the best. And the odd part is he lied to me because when I was talking to him about us giving us another chance he told his sister to tell me that he don't want to be in a relationship but he in one right now with a girl that is not good looking at all.

This poem reminded me when my ex broke up < /3 with me a couple days before our '2-month anniversary', I still loved him and I thought I could never let go, it was un called for and unexpected and I hated him for that, he lied and hurt me, I don't love him but I don't hate him, I have let go and let God.
