About the Poem

This poem was written for someone who treats people badly, who uses them as if they were some toy, or cheap object. It's about the pain and loss of self esteem that goes along with being treated in such a way. It's also about the love that someone can have for another, even when the other doesn't care enough to even try.

Flavor Of The Day

Here you come,
creeping back in.
Inside your ever-changing tastes,
once again, I'm the flavor of the day.
Are we still the same?
Now I'm burning in vain.
I gave you too many chances,
and you left me standing alone in the rain.
I loved you too much,
and then I learned it wasn't worth the pain
I brought down on myself.
I still love you so very much,
and here I am,
the flavor of the day,
melting alone in the rain.

GAWR the poem was amazing its like you can love and hate someone at the same time. and no matter how much you care for them they will never appreciate it. you feel like everyday they feel something different about you. and no matter how bad they've done you can never stop loving them. i feel like im never going to stop loving my ex bf.

I'm feeling this. I don't understand why some people think of others as their variety of icecream or candy on any given day!
