Lost Myself Loving You

I gave you all of me and ripped me in half I gave you a whole heart and you left it with scars Now repair myself is what I have to do I lost myself loving you I kissed you slow and passionately I held you tight I gave you the world and it wasn't enough I can still feel the knife I'd kiss your neck and slowly touch your thighs Little did I know, you were cheating with another guy Shedding tears on this page because I couldn't cry Now I've got a stomach ache from the dead butterflies Girls beg for a man who will treat them right But when they get one, they betray him and leave his side I never had you down as the cheating type As a matter of fact, I thought you would be my wife Well done to you, because you've broken my trust When I found out, I wanted to go to his house and open him up But I realised he actually did me a favour The pain hurts, but the lesson is something I'll savour I used to blame myself for your cheating ways But I've realised I deserve better Don't ever message me again, please keep away I'm free from the pain that I thought would hurt forever I gave you all of me and ripped me in half I gave you a whole heart and you left it with scars Now repair myself is what I have to do I lost myself loving you

An awesome write Alex. I can feel your pain, your blown trust, your vulnerability and your realization that you deserve a better girl, better relationship, honesty and fidelity. I love the title and the fact that it's your last line in your poem as well. An empowering write and enjoyed :)

Wow Alex, this feels like reality to me, if it's not based on your reality, you are an excellent empathetic writer, if it's your reality sounds like you're on the right track now...amazing how many women cheat now, I guess it's part of the equality thing...who knows...heartfelt write...I felt every word!

Thank you so much, it's half based on a relationship I had when I was 17, and haven't been able to write about, and half about one of my friends who just got cheated on, I'm not sure either, men and women cheat equally. People need to learn to be faithful, thank you. I'm glad you liked it
