But I Still Love Him... Poem by Oneida Valdez

It’s all just a game to him.
He’s never taken it serious has he?
But I still love him…
I would tell him that I trust him.
He only took advantage of that.
He would kiss me and the world meant nothing.
He would touch me and I wouldn’t think of anything else.
He would say I love you and I would believe him.
He emotionally hurts me with his lack of honesty.
But I still love him…
Break up and make up.
Over again and again…
Ups and downs…
But I still love him…
I gave up too much.
I gave him my treasures.
I gave him my trust, my honesty, MY LOVE.
I would give him kisses filled with passion.
I would hug him and squeeze tight to let him know that I don’t want to let go.
I would say that I love him, and I MEANT IT.
He’s just a fool; he still hasn’t realized that I’m here for him.
He doesn’t know that the only thing that keeps me around is the hope of us one day becoming a happy couple and to live life and look back on the old days laughing at the idiots we were.
But I still love him…
