To An Ex.... Poem by Allysyn Bryant

There I stood in a crowded room
With you by my side I still felt alone
Never realizing the truth until that day
Now wondering how to say
You’re no longer my love today
You’re asking why now
I can’t believe you don’t know
It’s a shame of what I have to do
Of how I must tell you…

…But here’s the honest truth…

You don’t know me
It’s time for you to leave
Don’t bother asking to stay
You can’t be in my life another day
Begs and please won’t work, don’t you see?
You never even knew me
You say you love me but you don’t
Now go and don’t dare say you won’t

I’ve fallen out of love with you
And in love with a man ten times better then you
Treats me with respect and listens to what I have to say
Though never scared to tell the HONEST TRUTH any day

And there lies the problem, between you and me
I could never fully trust you do you now see?
No matter the love we once had, we can never be
So let me go. Don’t say please
Because I guarantee you won’t succeed.
