Love Me Not

by Brooke Telkamp   Apr 10, 2007


You say you still love me,

but where were you when my world was falling.

All you could say was I'm sorry

when I started crying.
Well I'm sorry too,

sorry that I ever thought I needed you.

Feeling forgotten for months on end,

trying to believe that you still loved me.

But I guess it was just a lie,

just like all the broken promises you filled into my head.

It's taken me months to let my heart thaw,

each relationship while that time shattering.

Because I still believed that you loved me.

But guess what, it's over, I no longer believe,

and I no longer weep.

Why?

Because I now know that I actually have someone here for me.

Who never lies, and fills my head with broken promises.

Even if he doesn't love me, I at least know that he won't hurt me.
