You broke my heart

Right when I was falling for you

You lied to me

You said there was no part two

Lie

You said I’m perfect

Lie

You said I’m beautiful 

Lie

You said I have the prettiest eyes and smile

Lie

I got played by my boyfriend 

 Now Ex

I thought there was love in your eyes but there wasn’t

It was lust

You couldn’t get what you wanted so you went to the one I worried about most

Thank you for lying

Thank you for hurting me

Thank you for teaching me what it’s like

You were great while you were here

But ended it in a bad way

You say you want to try again later

But I know that’s a lie

You said you didn’t want to break up

But I know that’s a lie

I know all you told me were lies

You couldn’t even finish the conversation 

You did it over text too

I know you slept and didn’t care that night

But I didn’t sleep

But when I did I woke up with my pillow soaking wet from tears

It hurts when I know you didn’t have any tears

It hurts when I know you didn’t care about me at all

But then again I need to remember your just a boy not a man 

Even though I want to hurt you back

I never will

I’m still going to support you and be proud of what you accomplish 

I’m still going to keep your secrets 

Because that’s who I am

I want to say I’m okay and over you

But I’m not

When I hear your name or think about you

There's still that aching feeling in my heart 

But I need to remember you are just a boy not a man

And I will find someone ten times better

I wrote this the day after I got broken up with over text at one in the morning. he was my first boyfriend so this poem has a special meaning to me.
