Its Never Easy

Its Never Easy

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

Meho...I'm sorry.

"
Let me just say,
That I didn't want to do it,
But right now my life is a colorless gray,
I didn't want to break up, but I knew I couldn't commit.

Right now, I can't be around you,
Because I need to figure my own self out.
You added vibrancy to me so that I wasn't so blue,
But I'm still stuck under a dark storm-cloud.

My friends are sad and falling apart,
And I'm quite sad too,
I recently found I have a real problem with my heart,
And those are things I first need to do.

I'm not saying the things I said as a cliche,
Because I know you deserve more than that,
But you're strong and can pave your own way,
So I hope you know what I'm getting at.

This is my apology poem lovingly addressed to my dear meho,
I know all those girls have fallen for you hard, so you have them,
But where we go from here, I don't know,
But from here on out we're probably condemned.

I ask that you forget about me,
And I'll try to forget your honey sweet voice,
And your sensitivity,
Because of what I've done, we have no other choice.

I do love you, Meho, I really do,
But I feel that right now I need to grow up some more
And me leaving only proves,
That maybe this was the last day, that I keep your love in store.

Truly, I am sorry.

About my longtime bf Victor, who I had to break up with because of my health issues. It was an internet relationship, but we really did love each other.

I like the blunt honestly in this poem- there isn't anyone analogies or metaphorical beating around the bush. And I think that is essential for an apology. It is very simple and direct, yet very powerful and is marinated in raw emotion. That is sometimes hard to come by. These days, some people just write and do not even know what they are say. They get lost in the structure and presentation, they loss the meaning, the feeling. Sometimes we just need to take a step back and remember we're living too, and therefore we have flaws and problems. You can reach people better when you present the reality of who you are and what you are writing, rather than how you are writing. Great poem!

Your truly, Delaney

LOL.......
i kinda understand. after a year of a stressful love triangle with my best friend, i got the guy. unfortunately i got him after i'd started dating another guy that i was gaga for, but didn't feel the same about me, so to speak. i found out real quick that i was not mentally ready to commit to a relationship like that, and now, five or six months later, things are finally getting better between the three of us. you're right; it's never easy. it's probably one of the hardest things i ever did, breaking up with this guy. i think this poem of yours describes pretty much all the feelings of it very well. great job hun

This is extremely sad, I'm sorry you had to go through this. I would say I understand but I don't and I won't lie and say that I want to know how it feels because I don't. I'll just leave you with sorry. I know it does nothing and sometimes makes it worse but it's all I have to offer...sorry :(

Aw, I'm sorry. :( Just a note, it's spelled mijo. Spanish is my thing, sort of. Anyway, I liked it. I'm sorry about what happened. I can't lie and say that I know what it's like, but I hope you feel better.

Haha.
I'm just gonna say I know how you feel, it's hard to let go of someone you love. It's also hard to forget about them. Same thing happened to me, I fell in love with someone and I had to leave him. :( I hope you can feel better.

Agreed :)
Really well written, and there is a lot of maturity in your words. It is never easy to explain to someone the whole "its me and not you," but we see what we see in ourselves and others, and when we can see clearly, it is hard to deny what is the right thing to do. So, good for you girl.
