Pushing People Away

     This is a poem that I wrote a few weeks ago. It's not about me, by the way. This is about a relationship that just didn't work out.

Pushing people away

Is what I do best

It is not on purpose

I must confess



So very skilled at it

That I don't really see

Until everything's too late

And it's just me



All alone again

Wondering why

Why I had to make you

Say goodbye



Didn't really feel

Like I was the one

Wasn't good enough

So you up and gone



There are other girls

Better than me

I know it

I can already see



I made too many mistakes

When I was with you

I sometimes regret it

I think you know it too



But we've been together

Through too many things

To just stop talking

And end like our fling



Right now we're just friends

And that's fine with me

As long as you're in my life

I'm as content as can be
