PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There I go ruining

the only good thing

I've ever had.

I got the one I wanted

but it's not perfect 

and I still want more. 

Leave it to me 

to be unsatisfied

when I have the fairy tale. 

You are the dream 

I always had,

but it isn't how I imagined.

I have all the love

in the world but 

something's missing. 

And so I betrayed you

and lusted for another,

a former fling. 

Now to look you in the eye

utterly destroys me,

to hurt you this way.  

I'm pushing you away

and it's my own damn fault- 

I'm the one that's flawed. 

I'm the one that's broken;

I'm the reason this is

so close to falling apart.
