Better off alone

by McMuffin   Jun 20, 2008


The days are sad and the nights be long,
I think to myself where did I go wrong,
I treated you the best I gave you it all,
Now I sit here alone looking at the wall,

I gave you my love; I gave you my trust,
You got what you wanted with your dreadful lust,
I hate myself how I gave in to it every time,
I now know that loving you was worse then any crime,

They talk about love being the world's greatest thing,
Why do people abuse it and use it just to get a ring,
I say screw the world and its happy ways,
My pain comes from that world and those painful days,

They warned me so much why didn't I listen,
The temptations I resisted and dreams that still lie in glisten,
You were too good to be true and I let my guard down,
Look at me now as I wander around the town,

I sacrificed so much and tried so hard,
To get trash and shitted on and played as a card,
Not even a thank you or anything,
I guess I am better off with nothing,

You were never satisfied with what I did for you,
I changed so many things and resisted many things too,
If I could go back in time I would stop myself from ever saying yes,
I would do everything so much differently and never get into this mess,

We were happy at first and then it all changed,
It proved so how our relationship had aged,
You had your stories and I had mine too,
Some of the things I could not believe were true,

You messed with my mind and played with my heart,
My friends were all right and all along I played my part,
I was a puppet in your little game and you were the puppet master,
You messed me up and made my life a huge disaster,

You new my secrets and you knew my mind,
Lie after lie after lie the truth I had yet to find,
I found the truth alright and I know you now,
A mistake in my life I let my guard down but how,

I don't think I will ever feel the same,
I don't like playing your silly little game,
I never get to close but I never get to far,
With you I felt like I got hit by a large car,

My feelings were ripped to pieces and burned,
I sit there and think while my stomach turned,
So disrespected and unappreciated,
How could one be so mistreated,

Now your back saying how you want to try some more,
I don't want to try no more my love left already out that door,
I gave it a shot and you didn't bother to care about shit,
I'm done with this I want no more and I won't regret it,

You said you were happy with him when I caught you both together,
I want nothing more to do with you not even a call or a letter,
I accomplish so much without wasting my time with you on the phone
I guess I am just better off being alone...

    All I can say is this poem was really great. I felt the same way before...Until I found this really great guy ;)
    its very sad poem but with so much emotion.
    great job. =]

  • First off oall this was a really good poem all in all.There were a few shaky parts here and there but,it was still good.Here are a few things you may consider changing though:

    In stanza four it says "They warned me so much why not I listen"
    I think it would sound better if it said "They warned me so much so why didn't I listen?"

    I also noticed that you need another 'o' to most of your 'to's if that makes any sense. to=too

    Also in stanza twelve there are some odd symbols that need to be taken out.

    That's all I have to say.This was a good poem and I can relate because I just got out of a relationship like this a little less then a month ago.Keep up the good work.
