tikkii Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 It's exactly two months today Since you walked in the door so late that night I ran to hold you, you pushed me away I knew immediately something wasn't right The lies that ensued hurt more than the crime Deception and dodging insulting me more I knew I'd find truth in a matter of time There it was impossible to ignore I'd moved to another country for you Left a good job, independence behind Given up my life, everything I knew Within six months you'd robbed me blind You left me no choice but to leave in a rush I grabbed what I could, barely enough Now I live in a room, not fancy, not plush While you enjoy the luxury of all my stuff I'll hate you forever for how you treated me I was a very good person, someone to trust Now I'm numb, broke and just completely empty But at least now I can put myself first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiredofvampires Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Strikes a HUGE chord with me. Powerful... That last stanza, I know that feeling. I hope you will realize soon that being a good person is the triumph of love and continued faith in the face of hateful circumstances. So it is easier to stay a good person when you still have reasons to trust. The test is when you have lost them, to turn away from hating anyway. Easier said then done, of course. But it makes "good" even gooder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
