When I look back these days I think <br />'Was I blind? ' or 'How could I not see you were already hurting me? ' <br /> <br />But I didn't see <br />All I saw was I loved you... <br />And you said you loved me too <br /> <br />I saw the sunshine in your hair <br />And your beautiful laugh <br />And the way you smiled when you said 'I love you, ' <br />I would squeeze your hnd and say 'I love you too, ' <br /> <br />I was too caught up <br />In this 'love' to notice <br />All the things that were happening <br />You were turning me against my parents, my friends, and school <br /> <br />These things were once my life <br />But then you became my life <br /> <br />And then you realized <br />You didn't love me <br />Just after I promised you my life <br /> <br />I remember all the excuses you gave me <br />'Your not pretty enough, ' and 'Your too smart, ' <br />Maybe it was the thought of how much I gave you that drove you away. <br />I don't know nor do I care <br /> <br />Yo would think I was happy to be rid of such a burden <br />But I was devestated <br />I gave you everything <br />And you hurt me <br /> <br />Things with my parents: friends: and school could never be the same <br />I hurt them almost as much as you hurt me<br /><br />Candace Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tragic-love-3/
