the break-up

By KittyStryker


“i'm sorry”
you said

well

i'm
actually
not
sorry
at all.

i saw it coming.

you took
her leaving you
out on me
as if conquering
my body
would bring her back.

and when
it didn't
you left me
alone.



you know

i think
i'd miss you

if i had seen you
enough

to have something

to miss.

    Love the last stanza... it evokes a cool detachment with just the right amount of venom. I'm so sorry for your pain...

    yup. Jared and I broke up. Well, I broke up with him. Oh well. And what's lame is- he said he was sorry, he was looking for a masochist? Who does he sleep with? A Dominant chick who hates pain. :/ So it goes...

    Very nice. Lots of people aren't worth the pain of a breakup. You've captured that nicely.

    Its far too comon for someone to simply use something has a replacement. People using other people in such a manner is deplorable, but it makes me chuckle seeing has it doesn't even phase you.

    I think this is probably the first poem on here that I've found...that I can 100% relate too. This is exactly how I feel about one of my ex's.

    try as we will to disconnect.....there is something very personal about throwing ourselves on the alter of sacrifice.......if only our discarded carcass reaped the benefits of the spiritual blessing
