New poem

[Red]

I had to write a series of poems for my English final, one being an Epiphany poem. That is, a poem where we realized some huge thing that we'd never realized before. This was the first thing that popped into my head.

Over time

I’ll never forget how you made me feel
The feelings, the emotion was always more than real
Each additional day I had you life was more complete
Being good and decent to you, rarely skipping a beat.
I remember the kind words you used to say,
Your voice could make my troubles fade away.
But you hurt me, crushed me in ways you’ll never know,
And made me question the feelings you had so long ago.
The pain I went through will never leave my heart
It seemed too hard to imagine us being apart.
But I’m over you now, and the things you did to me
You blinded me, tricked me, but now these eyes can see.
I would never tell you I want all that pain to go away
Your lies shaped me into the man I am today.
I’ll never forget you, for as long as I will live
But I can be the better person and say I’ll forgive.
I forgive you for the agony you brought upon me
The grudges, the hate, I can let all of it be.
My life has gotten better; I have managed to get along
But I hope someday you can admit you were wrong.

I was wrong. I'm sorry, baby.



Which one is that about, homie?

Who do you think?

[Jeff]

I thought so, just makin sure.

I didn't realize Mary meant that much to you though.

I just can't help it. I can't get her out of my head. That sweet, kind, nagging, bitchy voice...
