You claimed you loved me.
Yet, you still have your ex-wife in mind.
You still love her.
You dwell on her past recollections.
The best memories you've shared together.
You failed to erase her from your thoughts.
You care less about me because of her.
My heart is really hurt and broken.
You always compare me to her.
You still miss her meals and how she used to cook for you.
I'm leaving you for her.
I can't stand you any longer.
I won't allow you to compare me to your ex-wife.
You both failed to keep the relationship going.
Now you're here, stuck with me.
You keep telling me what to do.
You wish to transform my appearance.
I am who I am.
I will never become her at all.
I tried to love you, and I supported you.
I cared for you; I gave you my life.
You don't see my effort.
Because you still dwell on her.
You were nothing to her, because she moved on.
She is married to someone.
She even has children with her new husband.
You are here.
stuck with someone's wife in mind.
I can't be here trying to love you,
when you don't appreciate my love.
I am leaving you for her!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Ugh, man like this are soooo annoying and frustrating to be with! Loved your poem!
Great poem! That guy doesn’t deserve you or anyone.
Damn, this is so heartbreaking. . It's better we cut off every ties with our Ex to avoid remembrance of good ole days , it doesn't necessarily mean we have eachother but creat6ing boundaries which is good for your family and wife emotional security
