Truth HURTS

by Poison Ivy   Sep 18, 2006


The lectures,
The advice,
They all want me,
To move on with my life,

Act as you never existed,
Or maybe take it as a lesson learned,
They say this will make me stronger,
The pain I must endure,

Holding back my tears,
As they tell me some harsh words,
They no longer sugarcoats me,
Even if the truth hurts,

"You were just another one on his list"
"You were just a trophy"
"You shouldn't have given it up so soon"
"You should have made him work for it"

What is wrong with you!
How can you say those things!
Can't you see that you're hurting me?
Please I beg you to stop speaking,

Don't you think I want to forget him?
Don't you think I'm tired of crying?
I'd love to move on,
But no matter how hard I try I cant,

How do I explain that to my heart?
For it won't reason with me,
How do I make it understand?
That I've lost him and he isn't coming back,

Thank you for the reality check,
Now ill go cry myself to sleep,
There is no longer any hope left inside of me,
For I now know that to him I meant nothing.

    I felt this way when I broke up with my fiance...I completely thought he hated my guts, I felt used, and on top if it all no one understood the hurt...friends telling you to get up and party, family just nagging you to get over him...And your poem, I thought it was great! 5/5
