The way you left me
Was cosmic
Earth-shattering
And hurtful
You called me,
“A chore!”
A chore!
Can you believe that?
All the time spent
Loving
Nurturing
Caring
How can you do this?
How can you say that?
How can you walk away?
How can you smile so soon?
I only ever loved you
I only ever wanted you
I never wavered
I never faltered
The way you left me
Was hurtful
Eye-opening
And kind.
I really enjoyed the formatting of this poem and how you said so much in so little words. A lot of people chose to write about individuals who positively influenced their lives, but I like that you chose to go with someone that had a more negative impact in your life at some point. That last stanza was amazing and I love that it sort of flipped the narrative and saw it as a kindness that they spared you more hurt by leaving.
Really great poem!! 😊
I love this, and I love the concept. The growth this poem shows is awesome
