I imagine you read what I wrote.
I imagine you do
And I know that you don’t.
You don’t care to know my mind,
You walked away and left me behind.
In reality it’s me that’s ahead,
It’s irrelevant now
But my ego just fled.
If I knew that you read what I write,
I would tell you with no delight:
You hurt me
Please come back
And never desert me
Please be good
And respect me
Take care
And reassert me
Understand me, please
Accept me
Make it better with a kiss
Tell me I’m the one you miss
Please come back a different man,
Give me the things you didn’t back then…
And since all of this is not you,
I will never speak to you again.

I really wish he read it and know how amazing you are!!
He needs to read this to know you.
Every words tells a story about you and he needs to know this story.
I really wish he would read it too. Thank you 🙏🏼😊
I am glad I read this… if he did, maybe he would change…though he won’t hear from you, but surely you should hear from him… Nevertheless, this poem is your walk away and right/write away… expressed with dignity
Thank you so much for your words. I don’t want him to change, I wanted him to change his behavior towards me and to keep my dignity, I am by myself. I wish I would hear from him but i will not wait for it
This moved me on the first reading
Thank you so much 😊
I like this very much. 👍
Years ago I wrote this, it does not rhyme, but I did that purposely because I rhyme everything, hope it is ok to share
Here I am alone
I thought you would be here
Forever means nothing
An illusion I chose to create
From words so often spoken
Words I chose to believe
Foolish of an innocent heart
Innocent of love, but not pain
I guess I expected more
Something better from you
I was wrong to trust
With my innocent heart
I was wrong to trust you.

Thank you and of course, also thank you for sharing. I love when we can find ourselves in someone else’s writings, and yours is a beautiful piece 😊
Beautiful…love the twist ending…a painful, but healthy step forward.
Thank you so much Tressa 🙏🏼😊😊
I like this a lot…clever unexpected rhymes and a sting at the end ☺️
Thank you, I wish the truth was different 🙏🏼🙏🏼😊😊 at least it brings art to life
Art makes life better…out of all the things you could have done, you chose to make something beautiful ☺️☺️
Thank you, that makes me happy ☺️
good ❤️❤️
