i wish

by Emily Sullivan

how can you really look at me
and say 'i'm sorry,i wish things were different'
did you think i was just going to curl up and die
because you chose not to grace me with your presence

i feel like i wasted years on you

things are different.
i am no longer your weekend fling
i am no longer wondering when are you
going to change your 'miserable' life

you said you could be happy with me
and oh by the way, didnt you say you loved me too?


things change, i realize that.

despite what you see here

it's hard to say i am bitter

i see you have made your choice

i wasnt the one in your head

and i am not at all surprized

the only thing i wish was different

was that i didnt cry

aw, honest and heartbreaking. Love the last line as it sums up the poem nicely. I have often felt like I have wasted my youth on others. Now my youth is almost gone! Learn from it i guess.
