Idk the rules of love
  If there even are any
I never been in love to compare to what I feel today
  But the pain I feel from the loss of you is greater than my strongest feelings for them
  Idk if it has to be weeks
Months
  Years...
Or you just fall in love in a moment that takes your breath away and captures your heart
  Takes it from you, so when they leave... You're lost, and they can't hear it's beating but, you never stop feeling it
Silly as I feel
  It's just you
I ache missing you
Will it stop?
Do you even remember when your heart beat next to mine?
   I never ever believed something couldn't be lost
Until you
I just saw life stretched out with you by my side
But you're not
  You're long gone, clueless to what you've done to me
  It fills me up with emotions I want to stay but, they drain away when   my eyes open in the morning light and your spot on the beds empty
  Empty, empty I'm just empty
My mind rewinds us daily
The grip I have hurts my soul because your soul I didn't get to keep       I'm alone
  Without you, it just doesn't make sense
  Do you feel me at all?
My nails on your arm, or running through your hair as I laid on your chest?
Do you remember wiping my tears, holding me tight, choking on goodbye?
  Do you remember the way my eyes made you melt?
And how we just talked and laughed for hours?
Do you remember being home?
  I know my shatter heart cut you to pieces
But you never said you'd leave
  I didn't think you'd just replace me  but, grip my hand so tight
Our we lost at sea? Drug out by the ocean tide?
  Is missing you my fate?
Will I be different if I see you again?
Will you?
You, you, just you
I met just you
  I had just you
I fell for just you
Eyes only for just you
Fear for losin just you
These I'm sorry's for just you
  These tears are only just for you
Life gets in the way
We get in our own way
Idk if this is love...
  But, I do know this pain consumes me and my heart is heavy and barely getting by
  Idk the rules of love
If there are rules
I broke the biggest one..
I lost you
I lost shaking loves hands wrapped in your arms
  I lost just you
Just you
I miss you so much, I still hear your voice, see your smile, feel your arms    around me, your goofy giggle, your guarded but protective heart, your  weaknesses, the awful storm you put me in
  The selfishness when you wouldn't just let me go
Why did you want me to stay?
Will I ever know?
Do you see the same bright star I see?
Do you ever turn around and catch a glimpse of my eyes, or smell lingering
  To just float away
Idk the rules of love
But, my heart won't change it's beat for you
  And We're oceans apart
My hearts scattered in tiny pieces floating with the waves
To you? Idk.
  Would you put it back together?
Idk the rules, or if love has any
I just wanna find the exception
Every rule has an exception
  It's just you
Just you
My eyes slip shut, and for just a little while.. It'll be just you....
  And me
Love will be there
  Just you&Me; again
Idk the rules of love
  But, maybe if I stop searching for answers, next time I open my eyes
It will be Just You&Jus;; Me
  For now, I'll just dream....
I just don't know the rules of love
I know a lot of my poems have been about being broken hearted but, i went through hell and back with this guy, I thought we'd be laying in bed together right now. I gotta find a way to let go. Trust me, I'm trying

I think I'll always wonder if it was love... Especially on my end.
I think I'll alway want to ask you if you give us a second thought the way I do all the time
I think I'll always ponder if timing had been better, would we have been?
I think I know that these questions will remained unanswered
I think I know some of them were dreams I must've had along the way
I think you were real at one point
I know I felt something from you when you looked into my eyes
I know it because I felt it too
I think as much as I want to hate you, I never will
I know I've gotta let all this go
I know I need to ignore the thoughts that keep me up at night
I think deep down I've known, I should've let you go
I know chasing fantasies will end in the same place you started
I think I'm afraid that if I let go I'll know it's really over
I know I'm afraid to erase our old messages because, it feels like I'm erasing us
I think I know who erased who first
And I know who cries over that
I wonder if you ever just looked at me and just felt relief
I worry I depended on what I thought you felt to get by
And I think what you're feeling now is a knife in my back
I want to know what it was that turned you away
I'm over pondering why you choose her and not me
But than I think, it took you so long to let go of me
I wish you weren't as selfish as I know you are
I know I want to be half as selfish of you
I wonder than if I could finally open my hand and scream aloud til the tears stopped rolling down my face
I think I wish you knew of this pain I'm trapped in
I know this push and pull didnt work for you.. And it's not for me
I think one day I'll be done with all this
I think I'm sure I'll never hate you
But, I know the girl writing this, won't be here waiting for you
I think maybe then you'll begin to ponder where I might be
I think maybe you will wish you could take another look at the door you closed so long ago
I know I can't know for sure
I think I'll always hope that you might
I think I'll always wonder&hope; what we had back then was true
I think I'll always....

I have to let you go
Although it hurts me so
You moved on
You've been long gone
I just wanted to be the face that made your eyes light up
I just didn't want to lose my luck
Or you
Now what do I do?
You said goodbye
I'm holding a lie
Goodbye, goodbye
Those words come with a price that's high
I can't afford it
But I can't live just grippin the price tag
I have to pay, even if the payoff makes me lose my breath&gag;
I just need to hate you
So that's what I'll do
Then the words will just come out
The bill paid. No more "what about..."
Jaimee Michelle Jun 2013
I have to fight this
The urgency to talk to you
The loneliness from taking over me
Not to hide from a world that seems ugly without you
I have to fight the need to need you
To hear your voice
To have it make the pain go away
You're gone
Idk if you're coming back
So I have to fight
I have to fight the urge to hold on and wait for you.. When you may never come
I have to fight forever
Because forever fades away
I've got to fight the want to keep you with me
If only my heart would join the fight...

I never saw this coming
There was no light at the end of the tunnel
Your grip on me was so strong
How could I escape?

You were wonderful at first but. You quickly changed
And suddenly I needed you way more than you'd ever need me
But you because so cruel, if I tried to ignore you, you'd make me so crazy I had to see you

I want out of here
I don't want to be around you anymore
You're not my friend, you're like a poison slowing killing my soul
I wasn't even a shadow of who I'd been
I cried so many nights, wanting to reach out but, judgement scared me more than you

You weren't my only enemy
No the devil was by my side everyday, every night feeding me with lies
And constant excuses on why we needed to see you
I hated it so much, I was trapped
If I didn't do what he said, I faced harsh consequences, and I was just as afraid of him as I was of you
What in the hell was I gonna do to get out of this hell that was my life now

All of the sudden something dark and scary took me away from the both of you
A foolish mistake saved me
It forced me to see you and him in a realistic light
I spent many nights lonely, in pain and ashamed

The gates finally opened
As the fresh air hits my face, I smile but then quickly realize what's happening
I have my choices back
And you're right around the corner
And HE is coming
I know what I should do, I know I should tell you to *******...
But, when I'm around him I become weak
I lose my voice
So we hung out with you a few more times

I was crying, sweating, freezing and hating myself
I already did this! Why the hell did I go back to your house for?
Why am I with him, I can see in his eyes that he's sinking deeper
He's with you all the time
And I never wanna see you again
And I won't

So life went into different direction fast
A path I never ever thought it'd be possible for me to be on
I was seeing everything and everyone for exactly what they were
He was the worst, and as days passed, he grew darker and any loving feelings I had ever felt from him were gone
And so were mine, in fact I couldn't find a single reason to care anymore

It took longer than I wanted for things to end with him
Even though he was nothing but toxic
I couldn't seem to work up the courage to just say "it's over, we don't belong together"
I played every trick in the book
I was cold and distance, distracted
But, it just caused fights
And the fights meant nothing to me, no guilt or remorse filled my heart
I just wanted my indifference to make you leave

As usual, the **** literally hit the fan
Our last blow out was huge, earth shattering
Though I no longer desired him, his words sliced me right to the core, bringing out anger that I'd buried for so long
Trapped, no way out, you took control of the situation
In my own home, my parents upstairs sleeping with no clue the evil happening below them
You almost took everything from me
My breathing was none existence, I was seeing dark spots, fading away slowing
This can't be the way it ends
And I didn't even get to say goodbye to my mom

Abruptly you backed away
I lay there gasping for air
Crying while holding my broken heart in my hand
I climbed In my bed, sobbing, looking at the wall, holding my broken heart tightly in my hand
I never thought I could hate someone as much as I hated you

The next day brought sun and a mixture of tears
As I remembered every disturbing moment from last night
Ignoring the bruises in the mirror
It was over, I repeated these words to you over and over
Your arrogance had you in shock
As if the night before hadn't taken place
And even though tears filled my eyes as I repeated my words
I wasn't crying over the loss of you, but the fact that it took a glimpse of death to free myself of him

But, the tragedy turned into a victory for me
Not because he got what he deserved
That I was free from him and you
Thinking about either makes me laugh now
The demons are slowly exiting my body and soul
He's still trapped
You'll always be one of my biggest mistakes

But,  I'm over you both.
And there's no way in hell I'd ever come back
No need for goodbyes
There's no sentiment being left behind
Just an empty man... Whose completely clueless to what's happened
Just give it time
People won't forget the evil things you did

But they will forget you
Hands had been extend to you
To help
But, you say you have no problem
And that's ok
But, maybe when you're 40 and still in the same place, And everyone has moved on.

You were just part of my addiction
Part if my fear of not being
Of not being alone
But the second you left
The darkness was lifted, the sun came out
And I saw a world, I'd missed out on
If I'd stayed, well never mind that's not in option

In the late of night
You tried to steal my light from me for ever
There was nothing but hate in your  in your eyes
He knocked me down hard and repeated
I got up. I got out. I got a little braver

And then I got up, free and far away from you
No longer poisoned
I am not his prisoner
I'm no longer at either of your beck and call

I am free. I am me

I am me again

Your chances are all used up
And you're all alone on a dark endless road..
You see a light.. It's not at the end of the tunnel
It's coming full force out of the front
By the time you realize you're on the ground and that these are your last breaths
It'll be too late... Again
And you're all alone
Fighting to cling to your pathetic life
The rest of us don't know you're even missing
You won't be mourned
You won't be remember, can't remember a person you never knew
The masks lay all around you
It's cold
It's dark
No one left to blame
I smile slightly from afar
I watch you twist in torment
Not moving a single step or saying a word
I watch as the pain continues to slowly trickle through you
Don't act so surprised now
Life's a boomerang
You get what you give
You gave nothing but pain and scars and harsh words you could never take back
The lights gone
But, it was heavy, loud painful
And you lay there and slowly reap what you sow
Jaimee Michelle Jun 2013
No one wants to hear about you anymore
It's over, it's done
You've moved on, no matter what you actually feel for her you're with her
And it makes me sick to my stomach and I can't help it
You think I wanna feel this pain anymore?
Miss you enough to still cry to anyone who will listen?

I never planned on you becoming such a big part of my life
I don't care if we've only know each other a year
And we were only together a short time
And then more time, but it's complicated and only you and I know the truth...
I've told the truth repeatedly
You haven't told it once
Nor have you ever apologized for all the grief, endless loneliness and countless nights crying myself to sleep
And there's a great chance you never will
And no, I don't want to think about you anymore either

You probably think some of my actions are out of jealousy
Spite
And anger that you let her just take control, and toss me to the wayside
None of those things are true
I am hurt, angry and disappointed you became everything you promised you weren't
But, my jealousy has dissipated
I don't want the confused, tormented, selfish man that went away
I wanted the beauty of a kind, intelligent, protective and affectionate man I saw in you
Who would never lie
Never cheat
And would fight for what we had
Not someone who'd give up and move on to something more simple

I wish I could tell you nothing I've ever said or done was in malice....
Well, most things
But, If I could just tell you how much of my heart you held
And that you destroyed it with all your betrayal and indifference
And that maybe see things from my eyes
My eyes that cried me to sleep over you so many nights
The eyes that refused to see the games you were playing

So no one wants to hear about what we had
What didn't have
What we coulda had
And I'm honestly just broken down from this triangle, and web of lies
No matter what angry, spiteful words come flying out of my mouth...
Please believe you'll always be special to me
You were my first in so many ways
But, I have to burn this blindfold I've had over my eyes
I need to see you for just who and what you are
And you're a stranger from the person I met
And I have to let that person go

No one wants to live In pain
That includes me
It's probably going to take me more time than I want
But, what am I holding onto?
What have I been holding on to?
Nothing more than a mere fantasy that you'd miss me and realize, I was the one
But as time went on, lies kept flying at me, just adding onto the pain
I can't live in a dream world
I have to accept living in world without you in mine

No one wanted you more than me
No one would've waited as long as me
I don't know if anyone will ever feel the way or see the things I saw in you

I suppose no one will ever know...
Especially you
Losing you was hard... The games you played made it harder.. You'll probably never see this or hear these words... But, my heart hurts. You're the reason. I just wish you knew what all your selfish game playing did to me. And I still miss you...
