Importance of I

Getting a bit too old for this.

Importance of I

 

You wanna tell me

What you’ve been doing

All the nights I spent waiting

For you to contact me

All the nights

That you never did

 

You wanna tell me

Why you come home so late

All the nights you tell me

You’re working

All the nights

That you never were

 

You wanna tell me

Why you try to lie to me

All the nights of excuses

All the nights

I believed them

 

Tell me that I’m just wasting my time

My valuable, precious, time

Tell me you want nothing from me

Because I know you don’t

I see it in the way you act

The way you lie

The way I fall for it

 

Answer my questions for me

Or I’ll answer them for myself

And you’ll never get

The benefit of the doubt

Because I’ll make assumptions

Brutal assumptions

And you’ll never find yourself

Back in my arms

Back in my embrace

Ever again

 

Don’t tell me these lies

You’re not working late at night

You’re not too busy to contact me

You just don’t want me

You just don’t deserve my time

 

Work for your job

Work for anything but me

But us

 

I finally found something

More important to me, than you

 

Myself 

Author's Note

What better way to relieve tension than to write?

Reviews

[John Stussy]

Well, someone seems to have ticked you off today. Glad you're writing int out, art is always a great means of relieving tension. And you wrote this poem well. Each stanza seems to point an accusing finger at the target of the poem and to pronounce him, with stronger and stronger conviction towards the end, Liar! You've always got you, because if you don't then who do you have? You're a strong lass, you'll make it through. Better days are ahead.

haha, doesn't take much to tick me off eh?

Each stanza was meant to point a finger at him and accuse him. Shrink him just a little bit at a time.

Thank you John :)

[John Stussy]

Not much at all, just being an insufferable douchebag who doesn't call back and has a mouth so full of lies it's like hearing him talk with his face stuffed... Wait, that seems pretty reasonable to be angry at. :P You did a great job of shrinking him to the size of a thumbtack, I'd say. Never ever EVER stop writing, I forbid it as of this moment. You no longer get a retirement from writing, ok? :)

[Destinyxi]

But, what if I get old and can't see anymore?

[John Stussy]

Then I'll hire a scribe to write down anything you say. :)

[Destinyxi]

haha that's sweet

[John Stussy]

Heh, thanks. I just think your words, and you yourself, are awesome.

im glad u relieve this tension. u wrote a great poem. it useless to waste time with someone who cannot be straight forward. if they cannot be straightforward then u dont want that person in your life anyway. glad ur moving on. at least u wrote this great piece :)

[Destinyxi]

It's pretty tough though, but writing this poem did help a great deal with the frustration. Thanks for the review!

[Crazy Cat Man]

I understand. That's the point of writing. Its supposed to help us heal. :) that's why I wrote "I am a Bridge" I felt better writing that :). I hope u feel better

Sometimes you need to put yourself first and others second. It isn't selfish; it's life. Great poem!
