Cycle Paper 3

To the one who selfishly broke my heart,

To the one that caused my world to fall apart:

It was supposed to be you and me 'til the end

I guess I was out of style and she was the newest trend

I'm not jealous of her, not one bit

But you and her, it just don't fit.

No longer do I care,

No longer will I waste my time wishing you were there,

I don’t need you; I never really did;

I was young and naïve, I was just a kid.

You taught me something though,

And even though I deny it, you helped me grow.

Nothing lasts forever, so cherish what you've got

We often only get one chance, just one shot

When you find someone special, hold on tight

Because oftentimes, they’re gone faster than the speed of light


This poem took me a really long time. It was hard to organize my thoughts on this subject, because whenever it comes to mind there are so many thoughts rushing through my mind. It was extremely hard to put these feelings to words, because I really never have before. It took a few hours (literally) but I said what I needed to say and was able to express the feelings I've been keeping in all this time. I was extremely happy with the outcome of my poem and all the time I put in was worth it. It may not seem like much, but writing this really helped me and I feel better now about myself and better about what I wrote.
