I listened to everything you said
And watched everything you did
No love for your man
But you stayed for your kid
I gave you my heart
Took you out of the rain
He gave it to you
But I took your pain
You promised me joy
You promised you’d leave
You promised me things
That were hard to believe
I accept the consequences of my actions
But I don’t regret loving you
I won’t blame myself
For you staying untrue
Now my hearts crushed
And I see that it’s true
That nice guys finish last
Because he still has you
I’ve become the man I hated
But it’s working in my favor
Why are girls attracted
to the insensitive behavior?
Either way I lose
As long as your in my heart and my mind
Looking past the next girl who’s one of a kind
It’s a sad cycle
When all hope goes out the door
I promised myself
I will not hurt (love) anymore

good guy, it seems you feel betrayed by this madam you took in from the cold but she never really loved you. she had feelings for that other uncaring man yet she stayed with you because of her kid - not yours but the other's.
this is ironical since the speaker is definitely bitter:
I accept the consequences of my actions
But I don’t regret loving you
this rhetorical question is too essentialist and gives away hidden hate and disgust:
Why are girls attracted
to the insensitive behavior?
Euphemistic here:
Either way I lose
As long as your in my heart and my mind
Looking past the next girl who’s one of a kind
It’s a sad cycle
the last three lines are fine but the reader finds it hard to believe the speaker's convictions.
generally this is a moving poem with quite a somber mood but it has this acrimonious vengeful tone.
good luck

This is beautiful. You have so much talent. May, I just let you know that the girls don't know what they're missing if they throw a guy like this out the window. I would love a guy like this. Don't give up. Love will find you. Find the Nichole Nordeman song 'Hold On' from her album 'Brave'. It's beautiful, and so true to me.
There is no past tense for loving. You either do or you never did.

That is awesome. It is so heartfelt, and if I got that poem, it would make me cry. I'm sorry you're going through heartbreak. Writing about it will help.

this is so beautiful esp the last part:
"I promised myself
I will not hurt (love) anymore".
it's what i promised him if ever we are not meant for each other, he will still remain in my heart.
