Click hereI remember the day, she said she made a mistake
As she sat me down, to tell me for ‘my’ sake
She spoke in a tone that was quiet and cold
Explaining a betrayal not twelve hours old
I listened in anguish as she laid out each fact
Alcohol consumed, of will power lacked
I thought you should know, I owe it to you
Her voice sounding distant, not a word of it true
How can I stay calm, or retain self control?
My metaphorical heart, now a bloody gaping hole
Because I loved her, I gave her that power
To hurt me or save me, each and every hour
You’ve gone so far already, don’t deny it
Truly, I hope it was good, I hope you fucking liked it
Come on, did you suck him? Cum for him?
You are damn right there is no way you can win
I wonder if you planned ahead, knowing how to start
Fuck it, you’re a grown up now, act the fucking part
You chose not to care, you chose to forget
You chose to betray, so fuck you and your regret
The words of rage and anger, dance across the screen,
It doesn’t even apply, they don’t convey what I mean
The horrible feeling is real
The aching and the longing
It feels like I’m not good enough
So fuck you, you whore, you slut
I need to be angry, or I am empty
I love how honest you are....I love that you could put it into words so well said..... :)
This is not a simple topic to be glossed over. You showed the pain well. This would make a great short story!
Very well done.
in particular, I liked:

You've got a good handle on conveying meaning, though I think you ran a bit long, overall and (as I've been saying over and again, today) I think the rhyme scheme left some of your lines feeling forced and stilted. I think you have potential, as a poet and would benefit greatly from reading others' work, as it would expose you to different ways of expressing yourself. T.S. Eliot and Charles Bukowski are two excellent places to start. Bukowski writes a lot about watching girls walk away, and the general pain of life (which this poem identifies with.)
If you have any questions, or wanna tell me to go fuck myself for criticizing you, feel free to drop me a PM anytime.
