Huh?!?

Give me something to work with here,

give me an idea as to what’s going on.

I can't seem to understand it dear,

how everything went so horribly wrong.



I swear I had no clue,

thought everything was fine,

then all at once you tell me,

that you’re no longer mine.



If it's something that I haven't done,

please tell me so I can do it.

Or did I commit some horrible wrong,

and then not own up to it?



You can’t leave me in the lurch like this;

I need to understand,

what do you mean you no longer crave the touch,

the soft caress of my hand?



And all your words are confusing me;

they just aren’t making any sense,

now you say that you love me, but you are not in love with me?  

Do you think I'm dense?



What the hell is happening here?

How long has it been going on?

How long have you felt this way?

What do you mean the life I knew is gone?



So love, please inform me,

how long have I been living a lie?

When did you stop loving me?

On what exact date did my life go awry?



Don't tell me not to get angry,

don't ask me not to be hurt,

you've just plunged me into a private hell,

from what angel am I going to take comfort?



And so what happens now?

Where do I go to from here?

Did you bother to include that in all your plans?

Was I just supposed to disappear?



What if I don't want anyone else?

What if no one else will do?

What if your taking a part of me I can't replace?

You really haven't got a clue.



Fine, go on and leave,

make sure you take everything away,

I’ll survive, the hurt will pass

there's nothing more to say.



I said get out, you’ve made your choice,

Now leave me to my end.

I’ll just quietly pick up my broken pieces,

someday I guess I’ll mend.



But not right now, the pain’s too fresh,

the cut to deep and wide.

The emptiness begins right now,

Go on and leave me be, I hope your satisfied

Very nice poem.. but honestly..I thought right away by the title at first and then by the words that a man wrote this. They are always like Huh? What? clueless LOL I was so surprised it was written by a female. Sure is a great poem!
