About the Poem

How many of you have heard the line, "I didn't mean to hurt you?" Well, after giving away my heart to the wrong person, that was their response.

When love enters your life, it's wonderful, but when it leaves the pain can be unbearable. The only thing I could do was put my feelings in a rhyming verse.

What Did You Expect?

by Sandy Fioretti

You came into my life
As quickly as you left.
You grabbed a cutting knife
And sliced right through my breast.

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

My heart now cut in two
It feels beyond repair.
Injury done by you
God, life just isn't fair.

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

So here we are, just friends,
But I long to be more.
Desire with no end
Throbbing from my core.

You didn't mean to hurt
But what did you expect?

How do you describe it when something touches your heart but yet no tears fall? this poem did that to me. i have been crying for the last hour and i'am out of tears. and when i read this poem, it hit me like a ton of bricks. He said he didn't want to hurt me, but he lied even to himself. i will be fine someday, but till then, i'll have this poem to look back on.
