I deserved better

by Lori Lee   Jan 13, 2007


I was faithful to you and I loved you unconditionaly.
no matter what you did to me,
or how much you hurt me
I kept loving you.

I never lied to you or stole from you,
never caused you any pain.
I just loved you in every way
possible.

but I see now, that I wasted that on you.
I wasted it on someone who couldn't be faithful back.
someone who could never be honest with me.
I wasted the best part of me on someone who would just hurt me over and over again.

and that's a very painful thing to think about.
cause, see...
I could've had somebody great.
somebody who loved me the way I loved them.
somebody who would've respected me the way I respected them
and treat me like I mattered...

not cheated on me and hurt me in every other way possible.

...and I deserved way better than you

*I cried the whole time I wrote this*

    Wow this was very powerful. I can definately relate to something like this, and it hurts a lot. It's good that you could get your feelings out, and I hope you were strong enough to get out of that relationship, no one deserves to be treated like that.

    I liked this poem, it was very emotional and captivating. I did notice though, that your thoughts were kind of all over the place, like this line :

    "but I see now, that I wasted that on you."

    It is kind of confusing and hard to read, you may want to put in an antecedent for "that". Other than that, I loved this, great work.
