For The Best

by Renee   Aug 25, 2005


Did I leave a scar?
When I stabbed you in the back.
Because if I didn't hit your soft spot,
this time I'll make it last.

Did I manage to break your heart?
With those last words that I said
when I told you I never loved you,
and I wished we never met.

Well baby, let me tell you a secret.
All of those words, I didn't mean it.
You're broken because of me,
and all those lies I fought to scream.

All those nasty letters,
I did it for you.
Those rumours I spread,
I know they aren't true.
But I need you to hate me,
to save yourself.
Because baby, I'll be leaving,
and I don't need your guilt.

This pain will soon pass,
and you'll forget about me.
I'll just be a long lost memory,
a lover who turned to deceit.

But in all honesty, you'll always be my world.

-*- a little cliche', I know.-*-

    Wow, this is absolutely breathtaking Renee. You pin-point emotions so well, and the whole thing is like a letter not to be sent, it's really amazing. I'm sure a lot of people can relate, I can. You get so afraid of hurting someone you love and that loves you that you just hurt them so bad that they hate you. I've come to find though, that making them hate you hurts them worse then if you just waited, because have the time you don't do anything stupid, and love stops you from what I think your poem inquires. [suicide?] Anyways, I'm talking nonstop. This poem is awesome Renee, and I hope you're alright, if you need to talk you know I'm here for you, please remember that...love you hun. xoxoxox EEEEE>

    Love always,
    Mortie.xxxx

    ps. Take care.
