The Last Time

I’ve tried to make things better

I’ve tried to not be bitter

But my efforts turn to nothing

And I always end up losing

Crying, hurting, lost in my own self

While you’re free and my love’s abandoned on a shelf

I won’t take this anymore; God knows how I’ve tried.

I was never determined enough, but all that ends tonight.

 

This is the last time I’ll feel something, the last time I’ll look.

The last time I pick my phone and cry over what you took.

Tonight marks the last time I’ll ever think of you.

If only you could see my heart, you’ll know this all is true.

When you wake tomorrow morning, don’t expect to find,

The girl who keeps coming back, this is my last goodbye.

Clearly in this poem is a person who tried their best to be a good lover but was taken for granted.
And so life goes, as sometimes we need to move on forward from relationships where we try our utmost best to be loving but the love is not reciprocated.

WELL DONE!

I agree with you, moving foward is the best thing to do. Thanks for the review :)

I had two thoughts reading this poem. First, you so well convey the pain and agony of heartbreak. I think most of us have experienced it. Second, I wouldn't want to be the person you're speaking to. You're clearly finished, and so confident about it. Well written, and it speaks to all of us. Nice work.

The ache of a heart break - the most discomforting feeling :(
I could feel it through your words and just because i felt it too
Thanks for sharing
