It would seem
I’m that girl
Looking like a fool
Wanting to believe the things you say
I know you don’t mean it
What you whisper in the heat of it
Those three little words
I hear on replay
You come to me
drunk in the night
You tell me I’m beautiful
You tell me I feel right
But the next day
You hurry away
You say you don’t remember
Those sweet things I heard you say
You pass me in the streets
But say you love me in the sheets
Treat me like nothing
Until you want something
I’m not your play thing
To fuck with as you please
Don’t say it if you don’t mean it
Don’t mess around with me
What you don’t understand
I’ve fought so hard
To put myself back together again
And I won’t let you break me apart
I’m strong enough to walk away
To not let you get under my skin
To leave you behind
And just begin again
And someday I’ll find someone
He’ll be unconditionally sweet
He’ll hold me when I’m undone
And he’ll sweep me off of my feet
He’ll be everything you aren’t
He’ll be what I need
He’ll love me deeply
And he’ll be there for me
And what you need to see
This man won’t be you
Because you lost your chance with me

WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks for an elegant first poem ~ bursting with rhyme ~ rhythm and reason. We mere Men all get the message ~ "Mess with me & my emotions and you're outa my life." Maine ~ A great State to be in ~ and a great profession ~ I'd give you my BLOOD ! ~ Thanks for sharing and caring ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
I hate to say it but I cried. I really cried because It's so relateable and so raw and so true that it provokes feeling in anyone who reads. I really really love this poem, thank you for sharing it xx Just know that you're beautiful and talented, we all deserve to be loved and I'm sure someone is waiting for you.
oh and there is a certain strength in this poem that I love. You know you don't need him and I love that, you're not ending the poem with you crying in a corner, no, you're strong and you're moving forward because you know he messed up. XX Thanks again.
