Goodbye and Hello

hello 
I know you don’t know me 
but I’d like to give you your stuff back 
I think you use to love me 
in fact I know you did 
but you don’t remember me 
we meet a while back 
it was like love at first sight 
but as soon as things started.. 
they started closeting in on us 
we could have made it 
or at least that’s what I think 
but you weren’t honest 
so everything fell 
one person cant do this on there on 
I needed help and you were never there 
you told me to go 
just leave 
and don’t come running back 
you said” I don’t need you" 
and as time grew so did we 
we grew apart form each other 
my mind is a wide as an ocean 
and my thoughts come rushing in like tides 
my eyes shine like the glow form the moon 
and when I opened my eyes 
I could see everything 
so I left 
and I never thought about coming back 
I don’t need your lies 
your love 
or your heart 
I never had it in the start so 
threes no reason for me to fight for it now 
and now that I’ve found you 
I’d like to say 
hello, 
I know you don’t know me 
but I’d like to give you this 
all your memories’ 
all your false hope of one day marring you 
I hope your remember me 
while I forget you

This is a very oxymoronic piece. I like the consistency of the theme. Welcome to Poetry Soup and keep writing. Blessings, Joseph

Hello Brooke, I know you don't know me, but I'd like to say "Good for you girl!" You express your feelings well, and I love your feisty attitude. There are many good things about this poem, you just need to pay a little more attention to detail, use the spell-checker when you post your poem. There are quite a few places where you've caught two keys at once, or typed two letters the wrong way round. It's worth spending the time to correct them, it will definitely improve the quality of the read.
