But All the Same, She Left

As a poetic, I have a good poem for you. Torn Between My Heart and My Head

She was naïve, just not used to this new environment

I dedicated myself to you

It was not supposed to be a crime

But all the same, she left

No one will ever change how I feel

Or what I felt

It was painful

But all the same, she left

She said I had no dollars

But I was young

Ready to do anything

But all the same, she left

Not what I wanted

Was just a waste of time

But why did she stay for long

But all the same, she left

I did what I could

But she couldn’t stay

Said I had ego

But all the same, she left

The shoes were too big

Couldn’t fit in them

She created no room

But all the same, she left

All the memories

Turned to sorrow and tears

She didn’t care

But all the same, she left

Pretending all the time

Crying all the time

Trusted the wrong person

But all the same, she left

A scar in the heart

Big enough to heal

Took 100 years

But all the same, she left

This wasn’t the way

There was many ways

She chose to do it

But all the same, she left
