Leading Me On Poem by Carmella Stajanca

Any remark you make can't get the best of me because you no longer deserve any part of me. You're like casper to me... I see right through you. Deny the truth all you want but i will still not believe you. Whether you realize it or not you use me as a pawn in your game. Meanwhile you know the pain it causes and the way it puts me to shame. I'd rather you give me nothing than this false bit of hope. Every day that passes brings us further apart but deep inside a part of me is still trying to cope. I'm tired of your actions contradicting your words. If you will never be with me again, then why keep me holding on?
