Hey all, this was just a quick spur-of-the-moment type thing so I'm already aware its kinda bad.

He never held me
like he now holds her
and yet he told me
that he loved me.

He never kissed me
like he kisses her
and yet he told me
that he loved me.

He never took my hand
the way he takes hers
and yet he told me
that he loved me.

He never looked at me
the way he looks at her
and yet he told me
that he loved me.

He'll never let me
in his heart again
but yet he claims
he still loves me.

The reiteration at the end of each stanza was made more appropriate by the last two lines of the final stanza, how they were slightly different.  I was prepared to mention that the reiteration wasn't a good thing but now that I read it all at once, it just so happens that you pulled it off well by rephrasing it once.  That added a lot of power to the whole poem... well done.  
Still not your best of course, this is impulse poetry.  But for impulse poetry, a nice job.

Most of the poems I write are real quckies, and this one was a good "quickie".  It's sad though.  Don't torture yourself over the situation because its obvious that he doesn't deserve you...Good luck.

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

this made me so sad, you expressed yourself so well in this.  i thought that the repitition in each stanza really added to the feeling of this piece and really worked well the way you used it.  great job on this, keep posting all your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.
