Get Away

by Joseph Suttles   Aug 7, 2012


It's not my fault...
You moved on...
You forgot about me... left me alone.
You said I wasn't good enough...
You said I'd never be loved again...
You said all that to hurt me...
You...YOU! You moved on,
You forgot that I cared...
Forgot that no matter how much you chased me away,
That I will always be there...
That I will stand there.
But now you've got a new love...
And so do I...
He left you and now you come crying back to me?
What kind of man do you take me for?
I don't want you back...
I don't need the pain and heartbreak,
That you forever more shall give me.
The memories of us shall haunt my dreams...
I shall try to forget,
Because I need room for more memories.
So do me a favor and.... Get Away...
Don't you think you've caused enough damage?
Do me a favor and... Get Away...

    Raw and honest. You describe the loss well, painfully. And the decision not to take her back, heart wrenching yet you had no choice really. The last two lines say it all:

    Don't you think you've caused enough damage?
    Do me a favor and... Get Away...

    Powerful ending. I'm sure you feel empowered. Good job!
