I've finally forgot about it. Forgot about you. Your person. The things you did to me. So why are you crawling back now? Why now? I know my spurns and scorns are rude and cruel, but there's no way I'm going back to those cataclysms you caused. I'm fine now. I'm strong. I have my friends. It may not seem fair to you--but how can you really say that? I gave you your chances; you blew them. Not me. So when I ignore your existence and your phone calls and the voice on my shoulder that says "just talk to him" just know it's for me. It's not because I didn't forgive you. I forgave you a long time ago. Now it's time to forget. And I just can't do that by letting you back in. I just can't. I have to let it all go and move on to bigger things...

It's just what I have to do.

I realize these aren't poems. I posted them before I really knew how to use teenink so it's just where I put my "random thoughts." Thanks for the comments though..

that was really good, but just put some rhyme to it and in a stanza too to make it look more like a poem not a paragraph

It's got a good idea behind it; but in my opinion it wasn't very poetic.

Very nice job. Can't say I can relate... But reading this described enough emotion that I almost could. I loved it. Keep writing.

God bless,

That was really great. I have pretty much had that happen to me. Basically. This was really good, and was easy too relate to. I like it :D
