busted glass and dreams
empty promises
words without feelings
the end of you and me

an end to something
that was never there
fantasies
more than i can bear

a blade so sharp
stinging me
all the blood
of reality

a tear that falls
a tear for you
a tear that means
more than you want it to

so much of a mess
to clean up
no one there
my bad luck

here it all goes
just like that
a snap of the finger
a drop of the hat

say goodbye
it has died
with the words that you said
the tears that i cried

BTW this is not a poem about me, its just a poem. but i have been in this situation..so i guess it is about me isnt it? well i just wrote it cuz it came to mind
thanks fer readin

Short meaningful lines

Very nice poem.

Right on! I think this one's really good! A little more light than a lot of the ones that have been circulating lately! Thanks for a change!

It takes more work to love myself than to love others... I guess that explains it, eh?

I think that part up there is a very hard thing to realize...that something you thought u had never really was yours to begin with...the truth stings but its better to know and realize the truth then fool yourself...its very difficult to do and i give you a ton of credit for being strong enough to figure that out....::hugs:: great poem...very good

Good piece, Alyssa. You might want to work on the meter a bit though. It gets a bit choppy in certain places and reads through a bit wonkily.
Other than that, I like what you're saying. Good work and remember to reply too.

Wow...I am so completely feeling this one.  This was like a hand smack in the face.  This was great...wonderfully written and as the name states...held a lot of truth.

Smile!!  You never know who may be falling in love with it...

Wow It's amazing how you could lose so much just like that isn't it? Keep smiling

Alyssa,

It really hurts when you find out the truth, that someone doesn't love you. Believe me, I know, I've been there. But just as I've been there, I know that you will bounce out of this and find someone who does love you.

Alyssa, good poem. I know this feeling too! I liked the end of this poem. Summed it all up perfectly.
