We both made up something called a connection
but it ended up only for me as an affection
you thought that you always were in perfection
now you're having little rendezvous with another 
for my attention
as if you had backup plans with a 
huge collection
but you noticed I didn't give a damn about that relation
I always thought you were virtuous god's creation
but I never knew u only subjected me to frustration
when I met you first you gave my heart a levitation
but now, you're a renegade is my conclusion


I never really knew you would leave me so hopeless
but I could confess that I never treated you careless
all I want you to know is I was more than enough 
harmless
and all you did was betray me for another
mindless
but what hurts me the most was when you called me tasteless
I hope you would be able to find someone 
cringe less


I never really knew you were a soul who can
break my heart
and always keep your hatred on me
as a persist
never knew you could leave me and now
I feel here as a desert
all I know is you ain't worth enough to love 
me and reject
I never really know if I could even be 
restraint
but all I know is at least I can 
try to forget


I loved you at your worst but that didn't matter
it's so manifest that you treated me as a faker
but I knew that if I was you I would treat me 
greater
and that's what always makes me feel you are 
a traitor
I never really knew why did we even 
build this connection
but what did last an eternity is a defection

This, my friend, is well written, I absolutely adore the flow between the lines of the poetry, and verbal description is unsuitable to portray how relatable this is to me. I must say, I take quite a fancy to this particular work, and your poem's rank in the top poetry of the day is clearly well deserved. Kudos to you. I find your work inspiring and captivating.
