Listened to me
Thought I could breathe
Someone finally heard me

He made me believe
But I found out it was
All a waste of time
Every word he said turned out to be
Another lie

The times he seemed to care
Just waiting for the right moment to
Poison the air

Can't image a time when I
Praised his words
Trusted him not a doubt in my mind
Saw the sky blue or were those just the tears i longed to cry

Letting my walls give in
praying love would slip in

Left me with only regret
No goodbye
No reasons why
Nothing to wipe my eyes
But if you clicked rewind
I'd again fall for his lies

He broke my heart
He listened to me
He helped me breath
He heard me

He brought me back to life
He hurt me most of all
I loved him and yet he is nameless
After all the things

Will he listen to my poem and remember me

Relationships can end badly but they stay with us. The past cannot be erased and learning from our mistakes in love and life, teach us for the future.

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

Great poem. Great message and emotion. I could really feel the emotion of sadness. I can relate to this poem. Suggestion: end with a hook maybe
