Last night
I broke his heart.
Sobbing
And clutching my ankle,
He fell to the floor,
But I pushed him off.
He just kept crying
More and more.

Last night
I broke his heart.
He tried to defend himself,
To understand me,
To get me to understand,
But I shook him off,
Left him there and
Let go of his hand.

Last night
I broke his heart.
I walked onto the grass,
The night-enveloped field.
I looked into his face
Then got up and walked away
Saying “Am I not pretty
Enough to chase?”

Last night
I broke his heart.
I pushed him away,
Hoped he would follow,
That he'd want me again,
But he just turned
And said to me,
“I guess I'm leaving then.”

I broke his heart,
Shattered to pieces,
I can't fix this mess,
Tear-struck eyes,
His face in his hands,
This is not my best.

I really liked the way you repeated 'last night i broke his heart. It really emphasizes the point. It's incredible that i can relate the narrator, without ever having gone through anything as traumatic as that...it is the mark of an incredible author keep it up. Five stars :)

This is interesting. To me, it seems the narrator is slowly becoming the people that she is afflicting.

I haven't actually had a boyfriend since the fourth grade...alot of CUTE GUY FRIENDS... but not a real relatoinship...but when we write (which i have no idea about your experiences) we give people the feeling that we have...i guess thats what makes us good writers...that we have the ability to draw on an emotion felt or unfelt and make everyone else feel it too...when i read this poem i felt heart break and an ironic feeling that mabye if he came after me that things wouldn't have been so bad...that mabye if i was better he would have loved me enough to come after me...but that is just a smidgen of what i felt...Bravo!!!
