I wrote this little gem of a cringy poem in 1996 when my ex boyfriend tried to get back with me when I was already in a relationship with another dude. Sad thing is that when I broke with the dude I was dating, I did go back to my ex and it was terrible. It would be a pattern of relationship choices that would follow into adulthood.

Why did you show up at such a bad time?
A time when I’m with someone who might be the one?
Who is to me all the things you could never be
It’s not that I want to hurt you
But it’s that I don’t feel anything for you
I might’ve loved you before
but I don’t feel the same anymore
And although you might get pissed
I need to say this
I don’t love you anymore
So there’s the door
So please if you really love me so
You would just let me go
For it’s too late
For I’ve found another mate
