It seems like everything has screwed me over And now there's no escape. I'm watching you walk away, trapped in a net of my mistakes. But it's not really you that walks I know that it's a memory. Because really, since we first got together, You've been running away from me. That's not really me, I struggle to say, That was all my lie! While you were there I was someone else, a monster, With the real me hidden inside. I wanted to be so much better So that you'd stick around. I never felt myself becoming The one I hate the most. I just want you to realize That I know I was wrong... But now it's just too late, And you're forever gone. I don't like to think of that Though we both know it's the truth. My love, you whom I hold so dear I was never nice to you. Now I bear my just desserts, This weight of a million tears. Because when you hurt an angel No punishment is too great to bear. Do you know what hurts me the most? It's not the pain or the fear. It's knowing we could have been close Knowing perfection was near. It's waiting for someone who's already gone, That I drove off, no better! It's begging God to show you who's to blame And to realize you've been staring in the mirror.
Yeah. My poetry has really improved though.
I think you should read the ones I posted on the Eigth, yes?
