A Poem of Pain
You know, you left that day in September and never even said goodbye.
You kept me hoping and hanging on while taking up with another guy.
My heart often rages against you for what you've done to me.
Pulling my life up by it's roots and throwing it into the sea.
You care nothing for me or for anyone else but only think of yourself.
We've all been no more than stepping stones to your fantasy life of wealth.
You lie to yourself and try to believe that nothing you've done has been wrong.
Just needed some space, just wanted a life, and don't worry he'll get along.
Many days I fall back into grief and have to break down and cry.
Other days I hope for your pain and sincerely want you to die.
I hate you, I love you, I hate you, I love you, and round and round I go.
The ground for me is all shifting sand and winds continue to blow.
Every day it eats at my heart, the treachery that you've shown.
You know it will come back to you one day, the evil that you've sown.
If only you could know what it feels like to be rejected and left for dead.
To be thrown away like a piece of trash and then be told; I am still your friend.
Grownups don't up and runaway from things they don't like in their life.
They face their problems with courage and guts and eventually get past the strife.
I know your depression was painful to bear and I wish that I could have assisted.
There's nothing I wouldn't have done for you but everything you resisted.
Again my anger boils at you for being such an obstinate fool.
For the casual way that you broke all your vows and discarded every rule.
Only the most wretched of people who have no heart would dare to act this way.
Unless that person was sick in the heart or in their head perhaps deranged.
I know that one day you'll see the truth and I hope you will understand.
That the devil has cast a spell on you and will ruin all that you've planned.
Even now I would want to spare you from this and rescue you from that pain.
Even now I'd welcome you back into my arms and be your lover again.
