To Be Honest...

To be honest

I was expecting to be hurt,

I wasn't expecting to be enough.

I have always been weak,

I just acted like I was tough.

To be honest,

I cried

when I knew I wasn't the only one,

and I"m not even close to meaning it 

when I say "I'm done."

To be honest,

You still make me crazy,

and you always make me smile.

I always miss you,

but I won't be talking to you for a while.

To be honest,

you hurt me

but it's another thing to deal with.

I heard you were different,

but I'm guessing that was a myth.

To be honest,

I thought you had changed,

but once again - I was wrong.

I thought you wanted me,

But by the time I caught up you were long gone.

To be honest, 
I thought you cared

and it that it was only me.

I wanted us,

but you can't blame a girl for a dream.

I really like the repetition of the first line; it pulls the poem together. I think this does a great job describing the emotional rollercoaster of certain personal relationships and how we deal with the pain that people’s disappointments cause us. I like it!
