Self Inflicted

A love story gone wrong

angry traced steps fill in the room

it remains empty apart from me and you

told you I didn’t want this

but you forced my hand, convinced me otherwise

now we’re a hit and miss

whose past kept all the highs

you should’ve listened to me when I said

I couldn’t be trusted at my best

‘cause only the worse could come up ahead

and, darling, you know how bad I get

I wish I could stop being a let down

I wish someone could show me how

but that’s my cross to carry

though it became your body to bury

I have no intention of getting your sympathy

promise you’ll hate me viciously

don’t let me get near you again

you deserve much more than someone

who can’t handle their own pain

Hard, honest and direct words shared. In my lifetime. I have met women, no room for love. They had enough already.
"I have no intention of getting your sympathy
promise you’ll hate me viciously
don’t let me get near you again
you deserve much more than someone
who can’t handle their own pain"
The above lines solid and so good. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry. I liked this one.
