Ambivalence

"I'm not angry anymore... well, sometimes I am. I don't think badly of you... well, sometimes I do." - Paramore

Well here we are once again

From two fond lovers to distant friends

I had hoped that you would know by now

To subdue your pride instead of tossing us out

You've always known how to make me feel

Either good or bad, which was real:

Was it the warm "I love you's" and steamy sex

Or the late night calls to your crazy ex?

But f**k all that, I was here to stay

Like a puppet for you with strings to play

But anyway...

I hope you’re happy in your new home

Since you couldn’t bother to answer the phone

It's pretty clear to me - this isn't what you want

So don't be upset when someone takes your spot

Nice poetic rant - your write reminds me of the expression 'banana love'; plenty 'appeal' from the outside to see, then when the succulent fruit has been devoured, the 'skin' in tossed away. Now to find a more lasting tasty dish to share -- bless... :-)

Out with the old in with new.
Or this is definitely your last chance.

Definitely more of an "out with the old"

[Paul Bell]

I can dig the writting scheme and pace. I felt something and thats always great when reading poetry clicks.

[Stephanie]

Thanks! Different style of writing for me. Kinda through me off of my usual style though haha

These are mixed emotions, indeed. But it sounds like you know where you want to go from here. Or where you need to go from here.
Keep writing until it doesn't hurt anymore.
That worked for me.

Thank you :) This was my first time in a long time writing in the middle of the rush of emotions. I think... it was kinda crap lol

[Wesley Dingler]
