A waste

by Matthew Schut   Oct 21, 2008


The rain is dripping down the window
The puddles are all over the ground
Why does it always seem to be this way
This storm inside me but with no sound

I can't handle this tears anymore
I wish the thunder didn't roar
No one can see this pain inside me
And no one can see the tears hit the floor

What did I ever do wrong
All I ever did was love
I loved you more than ever
And I treated you like an angel above

I gave you everything you always wanted
And complimented you every single day
I made you feel like the greatest girl on earth
And so many cute phrases I would say

But you always seemed to point something out
You always made me feel like I was always in the wrong
Other girls would constantly tell me how perfect I was
Maybe I tried working it out with you for too long

I believed your lies and I tried to get better
Even though I was giving it all I had
I even would stay up holding you so you could fall asleep
But the next day, you would yell at me and get mad

It was always something different
Always something that was a big lie
It usually related to other girls
Or the girls that would wave when they walked by

I can't stand how you were always so jealous
I can't stand how I treated you so good but felt like crap
I can't stand that I wasted all that time with you
I guess I found myself looking at the wrong life's map

So now that I am gone and trying to move on
I've realized that I deserve so much better than you
Even though you do cross my mind once in a while
I realize that we are forever through

    Touching poem, apart from there are a few punctuation errors.
    We all or nearly at one point in our life left with a broken heart but believe me it can mend.
    You'd turn a new chapter and get over it, well done.
