Stopped

I stopped crying for a woman Who doesn't want me anymore. I stopped trying to make sense Of a love that was no more. I stopped trying to make that woman Know how much I hurt. I stopped worrying about a lost love & put my feelings first. I stopped thinking about her & wondering how she's doing. This obsession I was having Was causing my life to be in ruins. I stopped thinking about her new love Was he better than me? The more I thought about it It caused me so much misery. I stopped looking at her pictures But damn, she's so fine. It just messed with my sanity My life was no longer mine. I stopped calling & texting No kind of contact. I need to get her out of my head I want my life back. I stopped writing all of these love poems That were all about her People said I was "PuxXxy Whipped" They're right, I concur. I stopped chasing after her & begging to talk to her . It just made me look foolish Like some deranged stalker. I stopped lying in bed Because all I did was cry & weep. I couldn't take it no more & I was losing too much sleep. I stopped worrying & praying That we'd get back together. I'll just put her, in the back of my mind & try to forget her. I Stopped! I Stopped! I Stopped! Now it's time to START...........living again.

Oh I'm not totally relieved from the pain. The writing helps, but it's just a temporary fix. I don't feel as much pain as I did before, but I still hurt.

I am glad you found relief from the pain. It takes me a while to get there and with some I am not sure I ever will.

Thank You Eve. I truly appreciate it. This poetry thing is helping me in ways I could never imagine. Years ago I wrote just to kill time, but now it is really helping me cope & understand things better.
