Until Now

I wish you could see my tears

They’re for you.

You took another part of my broken heart

Why am I so weak?

 

All I want is someone special,

Worthy of my love.

I used to think you fit the part,

Could I have been more wrong?

 

As for the obstacles,

I knew we could have found a way around them.

I never considered giving up

Until now

Author's Note

Not my best work, I know. But when I originally wrote it, I didn't really think it through properly.
A guy (my 1st sort-of boyfriend) hurt me a lot on this particular occasion. Our relationship was always - from the start to finish - complicated. At that point I just realized our relationship was just TOO complicated. So I let him go. Looking back, I realize our "love" wasn't real, so I don't regret my decision at all.
Why am I telling you this? Because...You need to understand who I was: Young, naive and inexperienced. Not only as a person, but as a writer as well.

Such a sad poem. I really enjoyed it. I liked the second stanza it was very cute. I also liked that it didn't rhyme.

this is so sad but it really is a pretty poem

[Beau Peyton]

This piece has a lot of potential. A couple of suggestions....

"I never considered giving up until
I did."

and I might have said

"to think you'd fit the part
how could I have been so wrong"

I'd add a little sarcasm to it...put it back in his face and show your strength.

This is a sad yet beautiful poem. Wonderful write.

[Eagle Cruagh]

I am so sorry. Ths is a beautiful
poem, but it is so sad.
Perhaps there will be another soon
and you can invest all that loyalty and
devotion in to someone who appreciates
you.'
Thank you for a beautiful poem.
