An Excerpt From A Very Long Typewritten Vent (middle of page 2)

why do i have to hurt
and oh do i hurt
and i hurt all the time
and i feel like i could die right now
because my heart hurts so much
because its always broken
why does everyone like to hurt me 
i don't like to be hurt and my love doesn't like to be taken away
and i want it all back 
so give it back dammit
give me back my respect for myself
and give me back my soul that you stole from my body
and my bleeding broken heart
that you so cleverly broke while i was standing watching you break it
and you took it too 
and my integrity
and my views 
and my innocence
and my importance 
and my friendship
so i can use it on something worth using it on
and give me my friends 
and my sister
and my self esteem
and feeling
and hope
and wisdom
and explanation 
and my apology (you don't deserve it)
and give me my self
and my completion
and my life
and my love
and everything else i ever gave you
because you don't deserve a bit of it 
AT ALL
you don't deserve it all at all
and i want it back
but i'll tell you what you can have in return
you can have your cd's
and your friendship
and your hate
and your sadness
and anger
and you can have your damned kiss back because i don't want it anymore
and i don't want you
i just wish you'd go away and leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
to heal from what you've done to me
and make myself better again
you've had your three strikes
and you, my dear are out definitely and for good
you don't deserve my apology (as readily as i gave it)
you don't deserve it
and you can't see these tears in my eyes
falling like the snow outside
well, they're your fault,
all of them.

And you can have every last one of them back

Reason for writing:

    One night, I got out our old typewriter, and just typed out
every single thing that came to mind.  It ended up being 4
full pages long.  Most of it was basically a bunch of jumbled
up words, but in the middle of the 2nd page, this poem just sat
until I decided to make it a poem on it's own.  I'd love to 
hear what you think of it...this is my biggest risk yet...
bearing my soul to whoever wants to see...  Thanks. =)
