&ldquo;I&rsquo;m selfish, impatient, and insecure. I make mistakes. I am out of control and at times, hard to handle. But if you can&rsquo;t handle me at my worst, then you don&rsquo;t deserve me at my best.&rdquo;<br /> - Marilyn Monroe

I suppose this is farewell,
I shouldn't, but I'll dwell.
You're gone.
We're done.
My heart still speaks your name.

A month has gone by now,
I smile, yet still frown.
I cry.
Ask why.
My brain says you're to blame.

I saw you today,
You actually looked my way.
You waved.
I caved.
But my tears, they never came.

I'll think back to this I'm sure.
Sometime in my future.
I'll smile.
For a while.
You lost me, what a shame.

I wrote this because my boyfriend broke up with me after 6 1/2 months. He then decided to act like nothing ever happened between us, then acted like we were okay. His loss. . .(:

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
