Hurting Me Poem by Connie L. Burchett

Why can’t you see?

How you are hurting me?

Every time you call her

Or she calls you

Oh! How I wished

I could be her

Then I would have your love

The way she does

You said you told her about us

But when you talk to her

It’s I not us

Don’t you see how?

You’re breaking my heart?

I know how you loved her and

She never returned your love

She broke your heart

The way you are breaking mine

Can you tell me?

If it will ever end
