You told me I was so good
at breaking your heart back then
when I'd come around a day or two
and disappear again.

You knew it all along,
it's the way I've always been.

I have no love for diamonds,
glittery hearts, or roses,
no need for conversation
after the afternoon closes.

I miss the way you look at me,
the way you touch me and say
"you are beautiful, I love you"
and ask me to stay.

I truly wish that I could love
in a more consistent way.

And as much as I want to come to you,
it would be a big mistake,
I can no longer bear the guilt
that I cause your heart to break.

A poem begins with a lump in the throat.

two sides to every outcome, or hurting back before being hurt yourself.

either way an another expressive poem, that can be related too

and each reader will find a different angle to view

I like the way you've written this almost as if you are arguing with yourself.
Good job.
