Breaking Up (Poem)

Allana Calhoun
Why does it have to be
this way?
Why can't you be
what I expect?

It began as a dream
come true
But then I discovered
your other side

I'm sure that I've given you
some surprises
it turns out that we
are not meant for each other

My heart is sick with the pain
that I give you
but it is for the best that we
must part
