Hate Is An Understatement

Broken isn't even a good word for what happened to cause this poem to be written.

I've been thinking in my head

About all the stuff you said.

I don't understand how you read into that.

 

I cared for you!

I was there for you!

I needed you!

How could you?

 

You were Everything!

I thought we had something,

But I guess it meant nothing!

To you!

 

I use to melt when you looked at me that way,

And I can remember that day.

But now I pray,

Asking god why he sent you my way.

 

Now it's been two years

Since I wasted all those tears.

As I walk down the street I meet my worst fears.

You've come back and so have the tears.

 

I cared for you!

I was there for you!

I needed you!

How could you?

 

You were Everything!

I thought we had something,

But I guess it meant nothing!

To you!

 

My heart is broken.

All because of your token.

From this nightmare can't I be awaken.

How could you lie to my trusting heart?

 

My heart can't take any more,

And I'm  tired of waging this war.

I will put you behind me forever more!
I'm tired of the lies!

Author's Note

This is a nother kind of old poem, but let me know what you think. This is very personal, and I'd love your opinions on it.

WOW!! I can tell this is personal, so well written. It is pretty much straight forward with raw honesty. Love this.

There appears nothing fabricated in this poem.
The frustrated and cheated Nikki rightly said,
"I'm tired of the lies!"
"Hate Is An Understatement" seems to be a wonderful title of the poem.
Great write.

thank you

this was a very good story it almost made me cry....

[Darryl Davis]

Well, it's clearly extremely personal and should be handled with white gloves. While its message is impossible to ignore, sometimes the rather irregular meter and patterns left me second-guessing.
