i left in early february
but you left me years ago
and maybe you were never mine

not in the way that i was yours

and i didnt plan on the pain that would follow
or the all consuming heartache
of f*****g myself over

i let you hurt me
instead of love me
because deep down
i never believed i was deserving of real love

id rather feel the burn across my face than
a sweet kiss on the forehead

and i'll tell you why
but,
without telling you


and if you cant understand how it feels
to have someone elses lies
live inside of you
-etching scars all over your skin

if you cant fathom
how it tatse
when your blood is soaking in
those last words that they said

well then,
your hands wont leave a mark
on my dirty
dirty skin

I think the lines below are wonderfully poetic and show impressive skill. The rest is good too but I'm humbled by you

Can I ask if you've been at writerscafe for a long time? Many years ago I got to know some one from LA who sounds very similar to you. I think she called herself Louisiana Bird or something. Just a thought. I've been here off and on for about 15 years.

so crazy that ive been on here for 16 years i guess.... but my name wasnt always louisianabird and im not from LA :P

Were you likr 16 or so when you started here? I chatted a little with someone around that age. She was needing encouragement I think. It was nothing inappropriate though.
