You said that guys suffer a greater amount of pain after a breakup.
You said girls have short-term pain whilst guys have long-term hurt.
Five months ago you told me,
If you ever saw me with someone it would kill you inside.
It would hurt you so much.
So why didn't you care about the hurt I felt when I saw you with her,
A month after you said those words to me.
Am I supposed to pine after you?
Do you just want to see me hurt?
Am I supposed to beg for forgiveness for something I never did?
Even then I still don't care how much you hurt, and continue to hurt me.
Because at the end of these days, months or years,
I'll still be in love with you,
I'll still be hoping that somehow,
you can read all the many things I wished I had the guts to tell you to your face.
Instead, I just keep writing all the feelings I wish you knew;
Here.
Where I know you won't see them.
Here; Where I know they would be safe.
And here,
Where you'll never be able to use them to hurt me more.

PoetryWriting has always been my escape from reality, this book is a compilation of random short poems etc. that I've written. Miles per minute, because i overthink, when that happens, my mind races "miles per minute".
