Complicated

by Jenni Marie   Feb 27, 2011


When did things become so difficult, like our relationship was just another chore
Supposed to be so euphoric together, and yet it's us together I'm beginning to abhor
Love you more than words can express, yet don't think I can do this any longer
How naive could I have been, to have thought we'd come out of this a little stronger

Intimacy has all but gone, closeness vanished, completely disappeared
Once so blissfully content together, now everything is ruined and smeared
Gullible to think we had a whole lifetime for us to look forward to together
Tried so hard to rectify things, but know now this storm can not be weathered

As I sit here with teardrops splattering, staining every inch of this page
Think of times gone by, how idyllic we were, can not help but become enraged
What happened, we used to have something so beautiful, so good, so perfect
It's been thrown away due to lack of proper care, attention and respect

Everything has suddenly become so complicated, no one can say I have not tried
But baby, have to admit I'm at breaking point, my efforts I can no longer provide
Such a shame we were not strong enough, but no longer can keep struggling through
Used to fit so perfectly, yet whatever is left of us I can no longer construe

So...I guess this is goodbye, though it's breaking my heart painfully in two
Taking the broken pieces into my own hands, this heart you'll no longer accrue
It's sad...so sad...that I love you more than you have or will ever realize
But I'm finally giving up on us, for I no longer have the strength to try

    Ohhh wow this seems like poem I would write back in my day..breaking up with someone you're so deeply in love with is so hard. I've been in this situation and have had these same feelings and its terrible. Eventually it does happen...moving on. I never thought it would because I was so broken over it, but it happened and I finally did!

    This poem was a great little venting session. A few rhymes seemed a little forced and the syllable count through me off a bit, but it still didn't stop me from relating to your words!
