You think I still care,
I don't...
You think I still love,
I can't...

You think you have me trained,
You don't...
you think I would give my life for you,
I wouldn't...

you think you've done nothing wrong,
you have...
you think we still have a chance,
we don't...

we're done,
the lies...
we're done,
the girls.

I'm not yours,
you were never mine,
empowered...
I'm over it.

You think you made me who I am,
you didn't...
You think I'm nothing without you,
I'm better.

you were never there...
I was,
You never seemed to care...
I did.

now I quit.
and now you care...
funny hey,
how things work out.

    What a great 'up front' poem this is Lucy! Nothing held back, it's saying what it had to say, telling it how it is, no prisoners taken, hard and cold, but such realism dripping from every word that you have written.
    Two people involved in the same relationship, but both seeing it completely differently, and now one that's coming to an end.
    I found your poem very refreshing, and mirrors exactly what different interpretations are often made, in a breaking relationship.
    Well done Lucy. A great write!

    What an excellent and defiant piece of poetry this is and one I would suggest any girl/woman reads who has been put through the ringer by someone. I particularly love the way you have laid this out too.
    All the very best,
