The first time wasn't enough

by Bradley Peter   Oct 25, 2005


Was the first time not enough
though i was hurt deep inside
do i still have to be striped
of the remains of my pride

didn't i bleed enough
must you cut a deeper nerve
the second time will be worse
more pain is what you'll serve

i don't have the strength
to fight another attack
i don't possess the energy
to run around that track

I'm still weak from the battle
that i fought with you before
but you insist on fighting again
your set on another war

i plead with you to stop
and destroy another soul
because where there was a heart
there now lies a hole

your the love of my life
and the destroyer of it too
the first time didn't do it
but the second will do me through

don't make me fall for you again
don't i deserve some peace
look at me I'm a wreck
so let the torture cease

you say that you've changed
i believe that to be a lie
you'll destroy me just the same
and again I'll wish to die

i know that you love me
and yes i love you too
but our love won't succeed
so this we cannot do

so lets say our goodbyes
lets end it all here
forget what we had
lets leave 'us' at the rear

    Brad ...
    This poem is filled with so much emotional pain it breaks my heart ...
    A real (tugger ) at the heart strings it is ..
    In this part (so let the torture seas)
    I think you might have meant.
    ......So let the torture cease ...
    In the second stanza I'd remove the
    ( because ) to make it flow nicer ...
    That is just my opinion sweets ...
    But overall it is a beautiful heartfelt poem ...
    Thanks for including me in your favorites .... It is indeed an honor ...
