I miss you,
Three words I constantly repeat.
Yet nothing ever changes,
Should I just admit defeat?

Fighting this on going battle,
Struggling to carry on.
You lied about always being here,
I blinked and you were gone.

Was it something I did?
Was it something I said?
Did I somehow upset you?
Were you just seeing red?

This isn't a soppy love note,
But my heart is torn in two.
When you up and left,
A part of me despised you.

I hoped that you would fall,
I hoped that you would fail.
So you could feel a pain,
I did from your betrayal.

You chose her over me,
That's how I'll always see it.
Surround it with pretty words,
The truth doesn't change a bit.

When I say I love you,
Does that mean nothing at all?
I want you back by my side.
You just tell me to stand tall.

I miss you,
Though you make me mad.
I love you,
But you're killing me dad.

Expect nothing, Prepare for anything.

The last bit surprised me alot. Great ending. This was realllly sad. I thought it was about a guy then I was like wow .  Some words if you want more power in it, you could change. LIke despised to hated for more intenseity. But if this is a true story which I have a feeling it is, then you may only want to tell the truth .

OMG i've never heard of you before but good.. That Twist... I was like another sappy love poem then all of a sudden OMG so hard to explain.. That was great.. Lots of emotions.. Have to agree with Rhia on that one if you like change some words to make the poem more intense but a huge 8/10 from me...

The end was a great suprise! I actually thought that this was one of those common boo-hoo my boyfriend poems, but after reading its entirety, I am impressed!

You are on your way to becoming a good writer.
