I Tried

By brokenworthlessness

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I tried. I tried to let you go. don't you understand? you hurt me. you deny it, but you did. I am not the only one who promised forever, you promised me you would always love me but you hate me. don't you understand? that hurts me. I know that I hurt you but you can't say that you didn't hurt me. I tried to let you go. I loved you but now I know that it was only out of pity you didn't even love me do you know how much that hurts? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to keep on apologizing. I know I messed up but so did you. I tried. I tried to be ok. when you left, I plastered that fake plastic smile upon my face. I painted those bright glass eyes to cover the endless tears. I tried to be strong.. I didn't want you to come back. You wouldn't have anyway. you don't love me. I learned so much from you, from us, from what we had. but I didn't know what that was I never will. I tried to let you go but but now I know it was only out of pity I tried, I tried Written December 16th, 2001 © on Dec 16 2001 09:05 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
