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.
~Robert Frost

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.
