Dreaming In Reverse {a collection of original poetry}

poem ten || goodbye to you

it's funny
how you play me
and my emotions

you seem to think i'm clueless
about you
and her

yes

i know about her

and now that i think about it
maybe it isn't as funny
as i thought

it's actually kind of sad

you won't tell me anything
about yourself
that might reveal her existence

she's pretty
prettier than i am
she also seems so nice

she's also your girlfriend
and i'm not

when are you going to admit to it

that you've just been playing her

and me

like a fiddle

or any other instrument

i won't let myself be hurt
not again
not by a boy like you

i need someone who will treasure me
not someone who screws with girls emotions

someone who will love me
and openly show that they do

not someone like you
who avoids the fact that the girl
you supposedly love even exists

so stop

and reevaluate yourself
your life
your decisions

because i won't stick around
especially when it's my heart that's at risk

this is it
this is my goodbye to you.
