“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’" ~George Bernard Shaw


Concern is all I mean to show
But you lash out thinking it something else
I try to regroup, try to recover,
But you throw me away like an old toy
You have shiny new ones to play with
You don't need me anymore

B****, s***, w****,
These are not the things that I think you are
But you twist my thoughts
You put words in my mouth
Until no one can trust me
I can't trust myself

I hide you and your words
And the pain that your nonchalance brings
I stay alone in the dark, hurting myself
To keep from hurting you
I think this is what a good friend would do
But you do not care a bit

You continue to play with your shiny new toys
But I am not that worried
For when you grow tired of them
I know you will come back to me
As you always have before
And expect me to pick up the pieces again

Thank you so much! I'd love to read your work, and I hope that you'll look at some of my other pieces too.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take... but by the moments that take your breath away.

This poem is awesome. I could really feel your pain while I was reading it... Good job, and keep writting! ( Would you mind checking out some of my poetry? I would love to know what you think about it!) (:
