I don't remember where I got this from, but I modified it a little for my relationship with my ex.
I see you.
You're asleep. In my bed. You might not belong to me forever, but at this moment in time, I'm the only one that knows what you're doing. Of everyone in the entire world, I'm the only one that can protect you at this time.
Nobody else. Just me.
Another day, another dollar spent in the mall on you. You always tell me not to buy you things, but I can't help it. When I've got an extra few bucks in my wallet, I'd rather it go to making you smile.
Another day, another dollar spent on the gas to get to your place. You live a good distance away, but I don't care. Sometimes, I have to go without a meal just to put 5 dollars in the gas tank to see you. You always offer me money, but I politely tell you that I'm fine.
I'll make it home.
Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I have to walk a few miles to the nearest gas station with the pennies from my car's console jingling in my pocket just to get home. But that's okay, you're worth it.
Another day, another dollar.
Another dollar spent on our dinner. I usually don't take you to expensive places, namely because my budget doesn't allow me to. Working overtime every night for a whole week just to see you smile when the $250 dollar meal arrives makes it worth it. You didn't eat all of your chicken.
That chicken you're not eating was half of my paycheck. Waiter? Can I have a to-go box? I hope you enjoyed that. It'll be several more weeks of overtime before we can eat here again. Tomorrow, it's Ramen Noodles and crackers for me.
Another day, another dollar.
Another day of you yelling at me. Apparently I over-reacted when you didn't get in contact with me for three days. You told me that your schedule has been hectic, but would it have hurt you to pick up a phone to let me know how you were?
Another dollar spent to put more gas in the gas tank. I haven't seen you for four days now. The only time I hear your voice is when I'm the one calling you. You don't talk, so I end the conversations. I see you coming out of the bar and getting into your car.
Your friend is with you. I'm glad she's female or I'd be questioning it. I follow you guys as you pull out of the parking lot. I follow you all the way to the river. I watch from a distance as you two start drinking and being merry.
Why don't you ever ask me to go to the river with you? You don't have any free-time, huh? Right.
Another dollar spent to call you from just outside the river. You pick up and are whispering, probably because you're in the movies. You tell me that you're at home watching your little brother and that you have to go.
No problem.
Another day, another dollar.
You haven't showed up in seven days. I decided right now to pick up the phone and ask you where you've been. You tell me that this relationship is too stressful on you and that you'd like time to yourself. So, we're still together, right?
No, we're not. I'm just too dumb to realize it.
Thanks for telling me. I'm glad I had to call you to find out. I didn't want to burden you to have to pick up the phone to call me to tell me we're over.
Another day, another dollar in the gas tank to get to your apartment again. I'm sitting out front in the parking lot in my car. I see you walk out with a friend and get into your car. Wait, who is that? That's not the girl that usually rides with you.
She's not a girl. That's a guy.
You don't have time for me, eh? I'm glad you can squeeze in making out with a guy in your car while I stare at you from a distance. Stressful schedule, huh?
Another day, another dollar spent on a rose. Actually, it was three dollars. But "another day, another 3 dollars" doesn't sound as catchy. I place that rose on your windshield and leave. I don't know why I did it. I guess I want you back.
I guess.
You're nothing. You mean nothing to me. I never was really into you. I can easily get over you. So why am I calling your phone? You're not answering anyway, so it's like I never called you.
It's been three weeks since I've seen you. Four since you've seen me.
Another day, another dollar spent to go for a drive. Where am I going? Wiait, why am I driving toward your house? I need to turn here so that I don't head your direction.
Two lefts don't make a right. But three do.
Your car isn't there. None of the lights are on.
I can't get over you by myself. I need help.
Another day, another dollar spent on alcohol to help me get over you. Another few dollars on beer, another few dollar on Jack Daniels. He'll help me through this.
I lost my job today. I guess you can blame Jack. He makes me come into work with him. My boss doesn't like Jack. He told me to straighten up. Jack cussed him out and punched him in the face.
With Jack in my system, I drive by the college just in time to see you come out with that same guy. I don't stop, I just drive by. I get home and look into my wallet.
I'm down to my last dollar.
I don't think I'll be seeing you anymore.

I'll never understand these kinds of posts. The relationship CLEARLY was not working long before the aforementioned "betrayal" and this kind of knee-jerk response to the rejection never features any self reflection.
Not one jot. Why didn't she break up with you before seeking another relationship, do you think? Perhaps because she was worried as to how you'd react? That when she said "I think we've got problems" that you'd either switch off or start throwing your toys out the pram and screaming?
No, sorry, what am I thinking? She's just a bitch, like all women. Also all people in the world are douchebags because they are always getting into arguments with you. Lord knows it can't be your fault.

seems like a creepy diary of a try hard poetic stalker,
hard to read, too long, no point (unless your audience is stalkers it carries no relevance)
...like reading a children's book, you know where its going, yet you don't care
improved ending; suicide.
slightly original, yet tediously boring
very creepy, but if you don't realise that you must be very troubled
i was going to give it -1.9 because of the slight originality.

So why not spend the last dollar paying a crack-whore to look at your penis.

This hits home a little bit too close, though I'm not in full-blown stalker mode and hope to avoid it.

whenever i tell a guy i don't have time for him between work and school, it's because he doesn't excite me.
if a girl ever tells you that, she's lying, because if a guy does it for her she'll make the time, trust me.
i know it's a cop out but unless i've been with a guy for a long time that's all he's gonna get, a polite excuse that he would understand if he read between the lines.
whenever i tell a guy i'm just not into him he thinks he can change my mind. it's a fucking hassle. i even had some cry on me, which is unbelievably uncomfortable. i even let a couple do me one last time just to get them to shut up, but they were good lays at least.
some of the best dates i ever had were with guys who spent nothing or very little, btw.
it sounds like you try too hard.
