A break up Poem

I start to type a message,
but I leave it incomplete,
cuz I know you won’t even read it
so I just hit delete. 

I guess I let my guard down,
and now I’m paying the price,
I’m over here feeling stupid
for believing all your lies. 

You told me everything 
that I wanted to hear,
I’m so dumb for thinking
that you would be here. 

I should’ve known better
I should’ve trusted my gut,
but I didn’t see it coming
It’s just my bad luck. 

What did I do wrong?
For you to change this way…
At least give me a reason
If you ain’t gonna stay. 

But I wish you the best
in everything you do
I hope you find happiness
and all your dreams come true.

I will heal from this, 
I guess I gotta learn, 
I gotta let my feelings out
and I gotta let them burn. 

You are still young
and have a bright future ahead,
you deserve nothing but good things, 
but for me love is dead. 

But I’ll be alright 
at the end of the day
the sun shines for everyone, 
I will be okay.
