Kuresh

I really loved this poem. This is exactly what I have been going through recently. I loved her more than anyone. I did everything a man could for a woman he loved. In the end she left me for another guy.and told me "Now you forget me" Is love that simple? Well the joke was definitely on me. A walk through hell and back, become stronger but the scars still remain. This poem and many of them over here have expressed what I have gone through, for someone I loved very dearly, and left me at the blink of an eye.

Nicole

I just have to say that is a wonderfully written poem. i just recently broke~up with my boyfriend, and i am going through a lot of pain, and your words really express how i feel. Just like how i wish he would call and the rest. Thank you for putting them into words for me.

They say time heals all wounds...I don't think so..I think wounds only leave scares on our heart, evenually the scares close our heart any more hurt

I do love your poem because it is exactly the same as my experience. It touches me when I read it.

Ashley

I loved your poem, it really reflects on what most people do when they are hurt. Just pretend it doesn't right? Good luck with others.

Nicole

This is a great poem!

This poem is so true only because The Joke Was On ME. I believed everything he told me the more times he said it to me the more I fell for it. And believe it hurts big time at the end. Only because I was in it for the love. What ever that is now. Or the meaning. But it was a wonderful poem.

Maggie

nita
