True Emotions

by Baby Rainbow   Oct 21, 2013


As much as it hurts me to admit;
I just can't deny the pain I feel
whenever I think of you.
I try pretending that you do not
occupy my thoughts at all,
but my mind refuses to play along.

Betrayal really does cut like a knife,
it slices your heart in half.
Yet still I look for just one shred of evidence
that I ever meant anything to you,
anything more than nothing.

I wish so hard to be able to hate you
as much as you must hate me.
Somehow I still want you to know the truth,
the truth I keep hidden so deep inside
that even I forget it's there.

I hope you know that once upon a time,
I really did love you, I probably still do,
and probably always will...

... and I guess that's why it hurts.

    Whenever you think of someone you used to know it always hurts when you lose then from your life.I think the night is always the worst time when you feel lonely. The tone of sadness is great throughout the whole poem though. I like the wording you used in the first stanza as it is simple. Yet again it says so much. The first two lines of the first stanza are so very true. Betrayal is very hard for the heart to handle. When you are in a relationship all you want is honesty no matter what. And when they lie it does seen like your world falls apart. The last line of the second is very sad. When you meant nothing to them then it feels like you wasted your time.

    Hate is such a strong word but I believe it is used well in the flow of the poem. It's hard to hate anyone no matter what they did to you. Sometimes you dont even know your own feelings. That you forget about them. You hurt so much thst you don't want to feel them anymore. If this person is your first love then I think it will always hurt more. I like the ending though. Because you still love them and then you say it hurts. The tone again is heavy and sad. But this is so well written. Great job saffie. Xx
