A Letter to You

August 14, 2016
By Anonymous

A tear slowly drips

from my eye to my pillow.

I ache inside.

I've lost all pride.

 

I feel paralyzed

unable to move from my bed.

I've been nothing but kind

but you left me behind.

 

You're special to me

but I mean nothing to you.

I poured out my heart

and you tore it apart.

 

I hate to see you hurt.

You deserve better.

I care for you so much

and you left me in the dust.

 

The reality is you love her not me.

Whether I want to face it or not

I have to let you go.

I just thought you should know

 

I love you.


The author's comments:

When I wrote this I was an emotional mess. I was a naive teen who thought she was in love. This poem isn't based on one particular person but multiple people. Looking back on this I can see clearly now what I couldn't before, I was in love with the idea of them. They made me feel special, they listened to me, and told me I was beautiful. Little did I know they had their own agenda.

One of my hopes for those who read this peom is that they might relate in some way to my words. I think there comes a time in all our lives where we go through a situation like this whether we be the heartbreaker or the heartbroken. It's important during times like these that we step back and take a look at the bigger picture. It may take some time for our eyes to adjust, however, we might just realize what we were missing all along.
