PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You said you didn’t want to hurt me,

With the news you knew I’d hate.

So instead of telling me,

You say that you’re not in the place to date,

And that you’d tell me when you were.

It’s gone on for nearly a year now,

Everyday my feelings getting stronger.

But now, now you tell me what I’ve suspected,

I had my suspicions but I figured,

You’d tell me if it was true rather than allowing me to believe there was a chance.

I found out yesterday that my heart doesn’t only bend,

For it has shattered.

Also I can’t help but wonder how you think I fell now after waiting so long.

Maybe we’re not as good friends as I thought,

However, as much pain as you’ve caused me,

I still can’t tell you any of these things,

For I still can’t bear the thought of possibly hurting you.
