Didn't Quite Fall Apart

Folder: 
Poetry

Take a journey into these green pools,

Look real hard, now, what do you see?

The pain, the fear, the lies, the hate... it's all there.

The bruises are covered and the cuts are healed.

You thought you could get the best of me,

But you didn't.

(did you?)

I'm sorry I didn't quite fall apart like you wanted me to.

I just lost a few pieces of my heart.

And you can just go away,

Ruin your life and lose faith in everything.

I tried to help you and look what you did.

I was there for you and look what you did to me.

You got what you wanted,

Saw what you wanted to see,

Left the story unfinished.

You thought you could hurt me,

And you did.

(or did you?)

I'm sorry I didn't quite fall apart like you wanted me to.

I just lost a few pieces of my heart.

And you can just go away.

Please just go away.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Not my best. Just a reaction to breaking up with my boyfriend.

I tell you something. I was sat here, thinking to myself: how do I write down how I'm feeling about breaking up with Andrew? Writer's block. I hate it. Then I came across this poem - and I don't wanna bother to write it now because yours says exactly how I'm feeling. Right down to the green pools. I love it and I couldn't have written it better myself.

Keep it up<3
