I Am Bitter

by hayley williams   Sep 28, 2004


I tell you that I am happy for you
I wonder if you know that I am lying
I insist I only want the best for you
While inside I feel myself dying

Of course I want you to be happy
But only if you are here with me
I do not mean to be so bitter
But I’m not ready to set you free

I cannot believe you truly love her
You promised that I was the one
But now you do not care for me
It seems my love has been outdone

You say if only life was different
Maybe if we lived in the same place
And I wonder if things would change
If we were standing face to face

Can you honestly say we are over
That we will never again share a kiss
You will never let me hold you
Because I do not want to listen to this

So if you have made your choice
I hope that things work out for you
But I cannot stick around and listen
Not after all that we have been through

    Hayley this was so awesome!!! I can relate to this poem alot... with being bitter and not ready to let someone go... I'm sorry for you, Hun. And I hope everything works out. But seriously, if a guy is even considering letting such a great girl as you go, then he's not worth anything. Just keep your head up! God will bring the right guy for you eventually... and you'll know it. Keep writing and take care!
