So, I like you,
Then why did I just do that,
I told you I could never talk to you again,
Great, I screwed up.

You looked so hurt,
You asked me why,
I told you a lie,
Yep, I screwed up.

You said you dont know what to say,
I said I'm sorry,
Then you just walked away,
Wonderful, I screwed up.

I tried to explain,
but got tongue tied,
So everything came out wrong.
Like always, I screwed up.

I'm pushing you away,
I always do this,
I really dont want to,
So why did I screw up?

I really hope I can fix this tomorrow,
I wrote you a letter telling you to meet me,
I hope you'll come,
So I can try to un-screw my screw up

When I started to get feelings for my current boyfriend, it scared me so I told him that I could never talk to him again.

Yep, the last line is deffidenatally the best. great job!

Both of your poems that I've read have just been amazing. Again, everyone can relate. I do this a lot.. push myself away when I feel to close to someone. The words flow beautifully and it seem effortless... 5/5.

I like this one a lot too. I find myself doing this  a lot, even though I don't know why. I like the last line it ties the whole poem together. Great job.
