as if conquering

would bring her back.

and when
it didn't
you left me
alone.

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.

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.
