My Grudge

by East Poetry   Dec 8, 2009


To little to late,
Your decisions true.
there's nothing more
that you can do.

Your last remark, "please don't be mad"
As I search my forgiveness pool.
I'm tired of this marry-go-round,
And being played out like a fool.

It feels so good to hold this grudge.
My first in such a while.
I have no desire to take this pain,
as it drags for miles and miles.

No.... what you did to hurt me,
Shines your colors through.
And I no longer will hold my breath,
for fear of turning blue.

This grudge I have is like a ward.
I think I'll hold it strong.
To shield against the hurtful things
you've done so very long.

To little to late,
Your decisions true.
there's nothing more
that you can do.

So play your game, to feel set free.
I have no room to judge.
But it doesn't mean I have to play,

.... I'm holding to my grudge.

    This was great. i agree with this. the person in this poem is probably not that good and have done some messed up stuff. i think of this as a continuation to giving. maybe?? still good write and damn good read.

    The flow was a bit rocky in places and kind of threw me off a bit at times. Hurtfully I guess can be considered a word by some but it just sounds so terrible the way you said it. "To shield against hurtfully things"? Why not say to shield against hurtful things? That sounds much better haha I thought this was good but your other work is much better I gave this an honest 4/5

    Unfortunately as you have found life is not always a joyous place and hurt and failure are all apart of it. So I to have known those quirks and can sympathise with the grudge you hold though to step on one day you must let it go it will make you a much better man.
    I know the hurt that life can inflict is a bitter pill but spit it out and look to the one who makes that pill sweet all else won't matter.

    Just found your poems and I'm glad I did. I enjoyed reading this. Sometimes I think it does us good to hold a grudge, at least for a little while. Well done.
