You've Won

by Crystallovesmatt   Jan 11, 2008


He used to give her roses
he used to make her smile
he always said he loved her
but it only lasted for a while

he used to be so nice
told her stories of his past
he used to treat her like a princess
but this love did not last

He started calling her names
soon slammed her to the floor
began to play all kinds of games
her heart soon broken and tore

must have been her fault
every guy has done this to her before
i must tell you her story
because she isn't with us anymore

she wrote a letter
that told of her life
nothing was getting better
she began to use a knife

this is the letter
no one has ever read
the life that plagued her
and this is what it said

Dear whoever,
I couldn't take it anymore
my life so full of pain
my world fell around me
i soon was drove insane

I'd come home with bruises
marks around my neck
I'd have to cover my wounds
my life soon became a wreck

I started to slice
crimson puddles began to pour
i now write you this letter
as i lie weak on the floor

I cannot wait to leave this place
no one here with a care
I can now leave without a trace
knowing that no one is aware

I cannot wait to see
how every one will react
when they finally see what hes done to me
and all the courage that i lack

I know that you'll all be happy
no longer have to see
that somewhere in this world
i the one writing longs to be free

now i must say goodbye
with no one to say it to
when all my life was based on lies
what else was there for me to do?

so when you look in the sky
just think Matt of what you've done
your always saying you win?
not this is the time that you have won!

* this is about me i've been through so much hell and i honestly care too much for him to just let it go!! i know i should and part of me wants to i mean its been over two years!

    This is very personal. When I read this, I was reminded of what a great outlet it is to write. Poetry gives you the freedom to share your life with strangers, without the contempt or apathy you would likely recieve in any other form.

    This is truly touching poem but I think, that is just my opinion and I don't want to offend you, that it could be even more powerful with some unique, creative metaphors. Also I didn't like the fact that you used -he- too many times and that somehow throw me off, also I don't like that you used names in a poem.
    Other than that nice piece, the thing I admire about this poem is that it posses so many emotions and sorrow and I know that it is hard to write a poem with deep, painful feelings.
    Anyway I think that you did a good job. Interesting work.

    Another beautiful poem, it flows very well and i liked the words you used to rhyme. as i said before you're stronger than you think. I dont see how you can care for a man who doesnt return it. Dont let this relationship go out any longer, tell an adult he's abusing you, dont encourage him by hididng the bruises and scars. Let everyone see what hes done to you, he wont know what hes doing wrong until you tell him, get yourself out. Great poem still, i will check in on more later
