All Of

All of those nights lying next to you

all of the things I thought were true

All of the “I love yous” shared

all of the times I thought you cared

All of the memories that will never fade

all of the love we made

All of the things I thought

all of the lessons taught

All of the pain I felt

all of the misery dealt

All of the tears that were shed

all of the times I wished I were dead

All of the cuts created

all of the love, tainted

All of the lies told

all of the nights spent cold

All of the times I faked it

and in the end we didn’t make it

This poem is personal to me because it is about one of my relationships that meant a lot to me. This particular relationship was a struggle and even though it wasn’t the greatest relationship, it was one I didn’t want to give up on. What I am trying to say in this poem is that I put so much into the relationship and in the end it wasn’t enough.
