You Said

September 23, 2008

I said that I loved you, you said "I love you too."
Then you said "I'm gonna stay with her, but I just want

you."

How can you love me and do this to me?

You just succeeded in shredding my heart into pieces,

you made me who I was trying not to be.
You said "I want you," said "I need you," you even said "I

love you."
Tell me now, what am I supposed to do?

I want someone who truly loves me and will reach into

my soul.
I want him to protect me and keep my heart whole.
I want all of the things that you failed to do for me!

You just succeeded in shredding my heart into pieces,

you made me who I was trying not to be.
You said "I want you," said "I need you," you even said "I

love you."
Tell me now, what am I supposed to do?

I still want you, even after you tore my heart.
I just don't understand why we have to be apart.
You said "I want you," said "I need you," even said "I

love you, but I'm...gonna stay with her."

The author's comments:
This piece was inspired by a person who is now a very close friend. He and I were going out, and some drama occurred. At first, this poem was just a bunch of thoughts written on a piece of paper, but then it turned into something. Someday, I'd like to turn this into a song. That was the original intent, but it just hasn't happened yet.
