Left alone

You can’t seem to leave alone.
What is better left alone.
You reopen the old wounds.
With a knife.

You want me, but I’m better than that.
I know you would readily hurt me.
I know you will hurt me.
No doubt about that in my heart.

Like a hurricane you swept in,
Romancing my heart like Zorro.
Then like thunder, you clapped yourself out.
Leaving me bleeding from a million wounds.

Wounds that were gashes,
From my previous pain.
Wounds that fester.
With each new strain.

Of the disease that is you.
You infect soul,
You poison my blood.
You anger my heart.

Leave alone your empty lies.
Leave alone my broken heart.
And I won’t be forced to kill you.
With the burden of all my pain.

All I felt and ever will feel.
Yours for a lifetime.

    You have seen the pain an heartache that I went through for years, I had hoped that you would learn from it an would not get hurt as I did, but I guess men, boy, young gentalmen are all the same, they dont care if they hurt us or break our hearts. I will all work out in the end, you just keep reaching for your goals an make it big and they will be the ones sorry in the end, will see that they are the ones that have lost the greatest gal in the world. And I am not just saying you are the greatest gal in the world cause I'm your mom, but because I am your friend as well.
    By the way Dearst, call your mom havent heard from you in about 2 weeks, I dont want to call cause I dont want to catch you in class or at work.

    You are never alone my girl, you always have me, and Lee no matter what ups or downs may fall upon you.

    this pain conveys the sorrow weve all felt and been there and did that. of course that doesnt make it any less painful for you. hope this write helps you heal, which you will in time.
