not good enough

This poem is composed from several drafts that I made on different days, giving it an interesting mix of “I’m broken” and “nothing will break me” moods. I find it to be a nice break from my usually consistent (and so perhaps too clean and boring) poetry.

I use 3-line verses where the first two lines line with each other and the last line rhymes with the last line from another verse. Can you hear it? IDK but I watned to try anyway.

You said I am not good enough
That I do not deserve your love
We can’t end what didn’t start

I thought I had you in my hands
And now I die by thousand cuts
Leaving scars on my heart

It’s just another night alone
And if my body’s made of stone
Nothing will break my spine

This is how I will hold my stand
Even though I don’t understand
Why you’ll never be mine

I am still me, I am still free
Yet I drown in the deepest sea
Of raining tears I shed

Nothing new, another heartbreak
Another leap I’d never make
And now I’m left for dead

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile
I miss the way you walk with style
I am stuck in the past

I hoped and begged that you could stay
I hoped that you will join my way
This never meant to last
