You Said

About a Breakup

By Rene PetersPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

You said, "Forever,"

And I said it back.

I'm wondering if you truly care.

My heart feels severed.

Myself, I must attack.

Was it just some twisted dare?

* * *

You said, "I love you."

It seems as if it was a facade,

Meant to make me happy.

I said, "I love you too,"

Not realizing my feelings are flawed.

So now I feel very crappy.

* * *

You said, "I'll always be there for you."

Where were you when I wanted to die?

Would you care if I was gone?

I'm feeling really blue.

Why even try?

I guess our love is foregone.
