Poems

Someone Else

When we first meet
There was something about you.
As days went by I knew more about you.
You said all the right things and did all the right things.
Which made me fall in love.
I thought it was love but I was wrong.
I agreed to be yours,
I wish I didn't.

As time went on things changed.
All kind and loving in front of others
But alone, someone different. 
You started to put me down.
Made me feel like I was nothing.
This wasn't love at all.
Soon I became a ticking bomb,
On the verge of blowing up
Of either sadness or anger.
Then came the threats,
I grew scared. 
I was stuck,
Nowhere to go.

When it came out I thought about ending it
You threaten to do something.
Which resulted in me to lie.
I beg for you not to do it
And you said you won't
But when I found out you still did it,
You just made empty promises.
You lied to me about everything.

I lost friends because of you.
My mind was getting darker,
The thoughts are getting louder.
It was to the point where I became an empty shell of a person I used to be.
I had to do what was best for me.
I grew distant,
Didn't respond to a lot,
Made it seem like it was one sided love.

Soon i got the message,
The message I've been waiting for a long time.
You broke up with me.
The weight on my chest lifted,
I was finally free.
Now i must build myself,
Fix myself.
I know I will never be the same but
At least I got you out of my life.
Things won't be easy but
I can look towards the future without the fear you give.
