You stand there
Nearly in tears
Feeling alone
Unwanted
Worthless.

You don't understand
It was going so well
You loved each other
Trusted each other
You supported her strengths
She accepted your flaws.

Then she left you with
No explanation
No reason
No goodbye.

This seems so familiar...

Did you beg her?
Down on your knees
Pleading forgiveness
For unknown crimes
Wanting another chance...
Did you try to remind her
How much she means to you?

So did I.

Did she look down on you
With emotionless eyes
Before she turned and walked away?

So did you.

Can you finally comprehend
Why I hated you
Just as you hate her now?
Do you finally realize
The torture I endured
Now that you feel it too?

Perhaps this is a lesson learned,
Perhaps not.

But don't worry
The wounds should heal
In only a year or so.

And if you choose
To quit before that happens
Please die with the knowledge
That I
Survived.
