Just Another Breakup

Standing in the snow.
It’s okay, I guess.
I just really wasn’t expecting
That.
Of all times, you had to pick
Now?
Why the hell?
I thought
That what we had was good.
Not perfect,
But still,
There was something.
Didn't you feel it?

Okay, I’m not angry.
I’m totally
totally fine.
I’ll just
pick myself up again,
okay?
Glue together
the pieces that you broke,
alright?
Because in the whole wide world of love,
This is just one measly
Little
Break up.
Just
Another
Broken
Heart.

Just Another Breakup

I like this poem. I like how it is short, simple, and to the point. I also like how you made your feelings known in a way that this is just another bump in the road, and life will move on.

My only question is, by making this seem so small of an event/issue, does some of the meaning of the relationship before this happened get lost?

this is really good. i love

this is really good. i love how you wrote about your true feeling it is so cute and sad!! i hope he feels bad now!! =[[

Sweet

I can really relate to this one because I know how it is to go through relationships. It really does hurt. I really like how you put questions in there. It really brings it all together. Great job.

This is exactly what happened to me yesterday.
In the snow...
Picking up the broken pieces...
Ah, you capture this so well.

Best of luck and lots of love.

I can't say I understand fully, but I do know it's hard.

Thanks everyone...but...

I didn't actually break up with anybody. I was reading a book about losing love (What I Saw and How I Lied) and was thinking about breakups, and past feelings, and the lines just kind-of came to me and fell into place. (Sorry for not mentioning it was fictitious).
So thank you everybody! It's great to know that this is such a supporting community.
(And I know not everybody assumed right away that this had happened to me. I'm trying not to generalize.)
