You Fu%#ed Up

Rather take anger out on a page than on a person...this will hopefully be the last bit of ink I waste on him. I have a future ahead...time to move forward and not look back. :D

Your eyes are cracked

With longing you do not understand.

Your cheeks are bruised

From the calloused hand that

Is wiping your tears away.

Your lips are raw and weeping

Great sorrow-

Oh, there’s no tomorrow.

Great heaves and sighs

Wrack your lungs�"

There is no relief.

You wish things could have been different.

You whisper in the dark,

“Please, let me take this back.”

Here is my truth�"

Nothing you have done can be undone.

All I can do is salt your wounds

To heal my own.

You tire me.

On and on,

I think of a song to leave you bereft.

Not sure that I could ever write enough

To convey what torment you put me through

In our years together.

I want no part of you.

Not even this loathing I feel when you are merely

A thought.

I do not want you to steal anymore songs.

Just leave me alone, You Creep.

Hm, I think this one has the anger to turn the page onto the next chapter talk about someone being done. I like the line about salt his own wound to heal yours. I think strong poems based out of a stronger emotion is always a good read. I like the self awareness in this one, well done.

I have read many pieces about heartache pertaining to a failing relationship and most fall short of the angst and pain that can be conveyed to pull the reader in and let them feel the same suffering. This was not one of those pieces. You choose the right phrases and rhythms as well. I could feel the suffering and revulsion that is conveyed in the piece. Well done. As for relationship advice, I do not know what happened between you two, but from the words expressed here, he is not worth another moment (nor word) of your time. Go out and enjoy life. It is hard enough and short enough as it is. Don't waste that time on peons. Anyway, I liked this. Glad I stopped by on this one. Kudos.

I completely get this. You're tired of being hurt, tired of caring, tired of having your thoughts invaded by someone you know isn't worthy. It would be nice to just have a switch to turn off your emotions when a person shows you who they really are. Great job on this. I think most of us can relate.
