I think I'm pretty
I think I'm smart
I can't tell through the fake smiles and love you tried to give me from the start
I truly can't tell them apart
Do you really care about me
Seems to me I'm just here to clean your house
Seems to me I'm just here to pay the bills
Seems to me I'm the black sheep but no one wants to admit this
I'm sure your thinking why not
What did I do to you to make you so cold
To make you not have a heart?
Thats why I never come home
Thats why I move far apart
Thats why I rarely call
What are we going to talk about?
I already dealt with a lot
2...3...4... divorces and unfortunately
now I have to come home to a broken heart
I didnt ask to be this way
To love a family who treats me like a slave
Maybe God will make away
For me to never come back home to see your face
Its not easy saying I love you
When your family doesn't love you
If they did it has strings attached
If they did it was surely not how they act
If it was true love I swear I would feel it
Instead of me running off in the arms of a man that could be a villain
Not that I did it for reason
I did it cause I wanted to feel it
That's a good enough reason
This thing I been waiting for
You can't stop me this is real and
In my head i'm reach-in
For...
Love....,
Love,
Love.....,
I found it hard to pass
He gave me chills everytime he said we would last
He gave my heart what it had lacked
What my family refused to give
He told me sweet nothings and
that's when I started to laugh
I would fight you for his love I have
Cause you didn't love me, none of you have!
So don't come to me and tell me it won't last
He calls me beautiful
He buys me flowers
How dare you point a finger
What have you gave me last?
Your love never lingers
Your love never last
At least I feel love
At least I feel that
When love didn't leave me
When love didn't last
After I have moved on
After I have changed who I was in the past
I bet your fake smiles and fake love is nothing but
Selfishness that I have blocked
That I have put in my past
I'll never treat my kids this way
Whenever I will have
I'll never treat my kids this way
That you have
They will be something
I will prove to have
Love....,
Love,
Love....,
And that is why I'll never look back!

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

A poem that truly makes you feel every word. A powerful confession of the heart. Your pain turns into strength, and love becomes a choice for you. Exceptional!
