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

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 :) Login to Reply Alex Duffy Date: 10/3/2017 6:31:00 AM Thank you so much, yeah sometimes at the time we don't realize what we deserve, but sooner or later we cone to realize we deserve a better girl, thank you, I'm glad you liked it

John Hamilton Date: 10/2/2017 1:13:00 PM 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! Login to Reply Alex Duffy Date: 10/2/2017 2:38:00 PM 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
