to my boyfriends ex girlfriend,
i can see the hurt in your eyes.
every time you look at him,
i see the fire burning in your soul.
i wish i could put out that fire,
i wish i could heal the wounds
that the love of my life gave to you.
and see, people keep telling me to leave you alone.
to let you be, but i cant.
thats not who i am. to know that you are still in love with him...
i feel like i am looking in a mirror.
for years my poems were addressed to a boy who did not want to read them.
for years i stared at my reflection, wondering what i was doing wrong and i realised that nothing was, nothing is wrong with me.
simply we werent right for each other.
i wasnt wrong.
we were.
and i hope one day that your eyes will open as mine did.
to my boyfriends ex girlfriend.
though I am kind and reasonable person, I am human.
I have an ego, I get jealous, and I can be petty.
I know what bruises to poke, what wounds to prod.
the love of my life, he thinks me to be a God.
so if I want you out of the picture,
the second I say the words, you're gone.
and when you start to slip up, get too close
I will remind you that he chose me.
that I am the one that he holds,
I am the one he comes to for
comfort.
I am the one who gets to kiss his lips and hold his hands
I am the one with his heart.
to my boyfriend's ex girlfriend.
I will bring tears to your eyes then be the shoulder you cry on.
I will grow you in my garden, I will give you life.
and then i will dig you up and throw you out.
do not underestimate me.
I come across shy and timid.
but once you try to take away my reason for breathing,
I will see red and I will show you no mercy.
but not to worry.
your fate is in your hands,
but your heart is in mine.
to my boyfriend's ex girlfriend.
dont give up.
my sister, I will hold you up when you can no longer stand.
as long as you stay away from my man.
