After-Thought

Once again here I sit broken and torn apart I gave you a shot and all you did was kill my heart Why did you come back, Why did you even bother I was nothing but a game to you and look you won guess you were smarter The pieces of my heart are scattered gone like the ocean's tide You forever broke me, you took everything you killed my pride I look in the mirror and haunted eyes stare back, I was so blind to think you changed A tiger can't change it's stripes, I'm nothing but an after-thought, forgotten in the night Why was I not enough, Was I not what you wanted Was it all a joke did you laugh at how you broke me Leave, go don't bother coming back again I have nothing more to give it is gone forever I am empty I want to disappear like I was never even here, I am a shell of the woman I once was Nothing rings true anymore All I feel is hollow deep inside Love is nothing but a joke thank you for making that clear I guess I owe you that much you ruined our dreams with your fear I hope your fear keeps you warm at night since you threw us away And one day you'll look back and see what we was meant to be I hope it haunts you for the rest of your days cause I know it will mine No matter how much I want to move on I won't not even with time Hollow I remain broken inside I know I will be Wishing upon a star that I had never dared to believe

If i had a dollar for every broken hearted poem i have read well...... look, this is not bad but it is written exclusively for you not me, i do not know the boy/girl involved so therfore it means nothing to me...try writing about a subject i would know and would interest me. This is the same old same old... sorry but if i had a dollar... i look forward to your next post..cheers.

That's perfectly fine. I write what I feel and I always have. You don't have to like it as I write for myself not for others.
