"Fine"
I yelled, I didn't really care
After all the grief and pain you given me
Don’t expect a care
I will not come crawling back
I know there’s some better for me out their somewhere

I did your wanting
I did you labor
I thought you said you loved me
those word don’t mean a thing
The hugs I got were just some sort of squeeze
The kiss on my cheek
I wiped away with tears

You come back felling sorry
But you’re a little too late
You have lost you luster
You are no longer my mate

By the way, that picture is so dark, yet it has a certain charm to it. It reminds me of something out of a Grimms Brother fairytale for some reason. :)

You're right. This poem speaks to me. Sometimes you have to let things go, especially negative people. You just have to move on and go on with your life.
