I Was Not Me

by Kevin-- Cancer - Not entered

I was completely wrong
And now you are gone
I know I blew my top
I’m sorry I just could not stop
I was completely depressed
Having very little rest
My dreams came crashing down
I had no one else around
I had to shout 
I needed to get it out
Why don’t you understand
This was something I had to demand
My emotions I could no longer fight
I could longer keep them out of sight
Being close to the point of no return
I needed someone that would be concerned
Of this desperate demand
I thought you would understand
It was not me that night
The person you knew was out of sight
That night a rational mind
I could not not find
Given time
The life I would have taken
Would have been mine 
Because you stayed 
I lived to see this day
You will never understand
By answering that demand
My life I owe
The appreciation I’ll never be able to show
Even though I pushed you away
By the way I acted that day
This is something I will repay 

Reason for writing:

    I pushed to hard on a friend.  She stuck around even though I was a complete asshole one night.  The words I said to get her to stay ended up pushing her away.  I don't blame her for leaving not after the way I acted.  I owe her my life and if it is the last thing I ever do I will repay her for it. Comments Always Welcome.
