Definitely, Maybe

by Poetess Lana   Jul 10, 2009


Why would you treat me like everything is going perfectly...
just to push me away again?
You build me up to knock me down and make me believe it's my fault.
I am always the one to apologize, or make you believe you have no
reason to say you're sorry.

Please, please just leave me alone.
That's all I ask of you. I can't take any more of our
back and forth struggle, you make me feel unwanted,
You act like you only want me around for one thing
It's not love, so please don't say those three words out loud...

I know the truth, it's the lust that keeps you coming back for more
Making me want you for hating myself,
making me hate you for wanting you more

I can't take the lies, the pain...
But whenever you ask I say "I'm OK"

I need to tell you:

Being around you drives me crazy, but not in the same way it used to
Seeing you smile at me makes me smile, because I'm glad you're happy
(but that's the only reason)
The butterflies that used to be there don't come around anymore
You used to make me nervous, make me want you
Now I just care enough to still try to make you happy
even though it's killing me to do so

I know what you want from me,
but I can't give you that anymore, it doesn't feel right
and I don't want you to cause me any more pain...

I don't love you.

Definitely. Maybe.

    No offence, but this was filled with unnecessary filler words and an abundance of I, me, and you's. I felt as though that was all I was reading. This so called 'poem' needs a lot of work, before I could consider this to be an excellent piece of poetry for at the moment it is just okay in my opinion. This is more like a prose, so for this piece to work I would suggest making it into one. Try removing the unnecessary filler words and I, me and you's. Just by eliminating those minor things, I think this write could benift from it.

    Overall just an alright write for me, this isn't one of your best writes based on what I've read from you in the past.

    Peace, Joe

    So heartbreaking. I could feel the emotions. It's well written and has an amazing flow. It's a powerful thing when someone realises he/she has had enough. This piece captures it perfectly.
    Interesting title, very contrasting.
