Nine Years

by Fighter (Ariane L.)   Jul 11, 2005


After all these years,
It is time I said goodbye.
I can't stand to be treated
Like I'm nothing more than a toy.

These past months,
You chose to ignore me.
No reason, no excuse.
You shut me out of your life.

Then, suddenly, you would open up
And let me in again,
Without a trace of anger or guilt.
No reason, no excuse.

Then, when I would ask for a reason,
You would blame it on me.
Saying that I used you.
Saying that I didn't care.

You would stop calling.
Until one day, you needed me.
You were bored and needed someone.
And I was the only one there.

I will not stand to be treated like that.
You accuse the innocent,
Then you go do exactly what he is blamed for.
I can't stand it anymore.

For once in my life,
I am truly happy.
And if all you want to do
Is play this game with me,
And hurt me again,
Then I no longer want to be friends.

I'm not sorry for this.
I wish I were, but I'm not.
I have other friends that care.
Other friends that are there for me.

Nine years.
And I've had enough.
I'm finally letting you go.
Nine Years.
And I can finally say goodbye...

    Don't doubt yourself so much! I think it's a wonderful poem, and it speaks the truth....that situation can be very confusing but in the end you just realize that all this person is doing is just bringing you down....i liked it very much. :) Thanks for your comment, I always love hearing from you. Take Care....Peaces, //ari\\
