Those 3 Words (ILY)
It must be nice to know
you'll never get your feelings hurt.
How much do you love having all the control?
How much do you know
about the ways you impacted my world?
I won't call you scared
or tell you to man up.
I've got bad luck,
but it's gotta feel great to not have any worries.
You don't know heartache, baby.
You're nothing like me.
You don't know what it means
to wake up in the middle of the night
with tears in your eyes
cause the person sleeping by your side
doesn't have your best interest in mind.
I love a man who consistently disappoints me.
Your soul is full of negativity.
You're a fucking demon
and you don't know how it feels to be possessed
by a love that doesn't stop hurting.
Tears don't fill your eyes as you debate
whether or not you can do better.
Your heart's not on your sleeve,
you don't crave apologies,
or love letters!
You don't need to feel better.
You're just fine.
You're nothing like me,
sitting around like a fool
wondering which promises will come true.
I doubt you will even react
when I say those 3 words to you.
but I have to say them for myself.
I can no longer care what you do.
I'm leaving you.

AUTHORLisa, you're right! Those relationships don't do anything but make us feel bad. Thank you for stopping by :)
Great hub Ryem. You go girl is what I think when I read it. Women need to stop being with someone who doesn't love them or appreciate them.

Audrey, I really appreciate your comment. Thank you.
There is a stark quality here that I love--you do this well--and most don't--

Thank you, Rajan! I appreciate it : )
The hurt inside makes the words more powerful. Voted up Ryem.

It's kind of a dumb story. I was listening to a song called "3 Words" and I thought it was kind of funny that a lot of the time when people mention three words, those words are I love you. I wanted to have the opposite affect. It was kind of mad at someone when I wrote this, but not mad enough to truly feel inspired. I had to dig into my memories of a bad relationship that I had in order to make the emotions in the poem feel present.
Nice twist at the end. Where did the inspiration come from?

I'm really glad you were able to feel me on this one, thank you!
rAW! Sad!! and touching!!
your words are really striking and can even slam holes in the heart. So sad when you love not to be loved.
Pretty hard! But your words captured much more emotion than i can say.
"I'm leaving you"
that sums it up.
good write.

Thank you everyone for stopping by and commenting! : )
Powerful, great, well written. Great Hub!
So sad, and so strong. I love this!
I felt every word. Both the hurt and the satisfaction of being able to say those 3 words. Isn't it funny how those 3 words are sometimes as difficult to say as the other 3 (ILY) words for some people. Both instances seem to tear down some sort of wall....one a wall of protection...the other a wall of imprisonment. Sometimes one wall falling leads to the other being built. Sometimes either wall falling leads to complete and total freedom. Very well written. Voted up and awesome!
Ryem, this poem is filled with sadness, I agree with tsmog, this goes right to the soul. You are some poet!!
Deep, dark and cathartic! Great job!
Whoa! This is heart wrenching poetic words of emotion laced throughout. Thank you both for sharing and stirring the mind and the heart touching the soul. Nice!
