You Left Me

YOU LEFT ME!

Why did you leave?
You left me in the cold
You left me broken and bruised 
You took my heart 
Ripped it in two
And threw it away
Like you did nothing wrong 
What was it? 
Did I do something wrong?
Was I not enough?
Did I not care enough?
Love you enough?
NO! 
I loved you! 
I gave you my heart
I did everything I could... 
To make you care...
To make you love me...
To make you stay... 
You cheated 
You lied 
You didn't care
Couldn't you see that you were hurting me!
Then you left me
There in the cold
Left me broken and bruised 
And then you come crawling back! 
When I'm finally happy
When I finally feel safe 
It's too late for you
You missed your chance 
And me... 
I'm happier than I've ever been 
I have someone who cares about me
Loves me
He fixed my broken heart
That you gave me...
He would never cheat
Lie 
Or leave me in the cold
Broken and bruised
Just like you did
You left me...

PS...Lexi, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
