PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It took all I had

Not to hate you today

Between what you did

And what you had to say

You tore my heart

Straight from my chest

Burned part to ashes

And gave me to rest

You threatened to leave

Then decided to stay

I knew right then

My soul had begun to fray

It sounded to me as if

I were the one to blame

That if it weren’t for me

The pain wouldn’t have came

Well, I’m here to tell you

That it isn’t just me

That you hold blame too

Why can’t you see?
