Tell Me Why Poem by Kim Aouad

Tell Me Why

Rating: 5.0


I don't know why I do it, I don't know why I stay,
Even when I know I'm the one who'll feel the pain.

The reason for all my hurt?
I always put him first.
I stayed through all the shit,
And it wasn't till now that it hit
that I deserve better than that.

He swears he loves me
and sometimes he even shows it,
But how long till he realizes
That he left me lost and broken?

I'm slowly drifting away
Because he is slowly pushing me away.
Oh, I wish I could dismiss
My longing for his kiss.

I gave him more chances than is enough
And he managed to stay on the rough.

I simply cannot understand
How my feelings for him are still not banned.
How can I love someone
Whom I know causes naught but a rerun
(Of all the misery he has cast upon?)

I know I should leave,
Because that would be best for me,
And though it will be hard, we shall be apart.

this is probably one of my favorite poems of you because I understand you 100% and I hope you're past this terrible phase and are in a good state in your life :)

Love is hard to destroy. Like a house, you can burn it down but the foundation remains. Then one must decide, do I try to rebuild on this foundation or do I just move on. No one can tell another what to do but looking back, I wish I had moved on more often. Like always, your poem is very honest and real. Good luck to you.

If only it were that easy... Deciding whether to hold on or to let go is probably the hardest decision anyone has to make... What if I make the wrong choice? Would I regret that choice? I don't know, and it's terrifying... Sometimes I wish I were able to move on with my life without looking back, but I cannot, and that makes things worse... Anyway, as always, thank you for your encouragement and good luck to you too.

Not everything goes as planned, Sometimes things take an unexpected turn. If avoiding the hurt I could demand, then maybe I could be spared the hurt...
