Not Just Me

How do I tell him I need a break?
How do I tell him I do not love him?
How do I act like I am not fake,
like a ball on the wrong side of the rim?

We had been drifting apart for sometime,
he seemed to like other girls more then me.
When confronted he says its not a crime,
But I wish it wasn't me, but a we.

He would never call on the telephone.
If only he would read this one poem,
Then maybe he wouldn't be all alone,
Then that just might be enough to show'em.

    The tears will flow when he unclogs the dam,
    'Cause he doesn't love me for who I am.
