Lost Pride

Inspired by 'Takin' Off This Pain' by Ashton Shepherd

 

Throwing the ring in your face,

Pain fills up my heart like water in a pair of lungs,

The tears stinging my eyes as I blindly turn away from you,

The wind whispering into my ears as I faintly hear your voice

From the third story bedroom, trying to ignore the scene

Of sheets and lip marks all over your chest while

You were intertwined with another, another who

Had torn our lives apart now, the shock on her face

Written on her face as you tried to say that it was for a play.

How I wish I could laugh at your joke;

What made you think that I wouldn’t know

About the late nights at work and the poker games at Joe’s,

Not noticing the mask over your voice each time you spoke to me

While my friends tried to talk to me about it.

But no, I wouldn’t listen, I wouldn’t take their advice.
I wanted to try this on my own and not with help,

Making me realize that I was too late as I revved up the engine,

Driving away in your convertible with the wind playing with my hair

With the words ‘I remember when you gave me that ring
It was supposed to mean somethin'
Instead didn't mean a whole lotta nothin' ‘

Buzzing into my mind as the tears slowly dissolved away

Onto my face and onto my broken heart….

real emotions
i can feel that

[charlotte talley]

this is soooooooo sad but I can relate to it. the girl felt like she was cheated out of the realtionship that she thought was promising. This was really detailed to me of strong feelings about love and betrayal.

Just my opinion, but could you make it into a short story? I could see it going somewhere.....
