I took you up And I layed you down After you told me You slept with my friend Was it to show you I was the best Or to show you you'd never get it again? And even though I hurt I swore I loved you With all my heart I swore I wouldn't lower myself But I did And it felt good To know I was better Than the rest A poor measure for self esteem But for now it will do Because for all your fucking around I know you still want me with you Hey, could I hate myself more Yet, love myself more than I do right now? Oh, I seriously doubt it. Because the bottle was empty It made everything alright And you said you wanted it, And...well, I aim to please Oh God, what have I done? What have I done to you? Oh, it felt good for you to tell me I was better than the rest You could have lied --- But the alcohol told me you meant it. E.A.Altamura, Copyright 1998
Reason for writing:
This poem was written immediately following a very regretful encounter with one of my ex-boyfriends. I was still drunk when I wrote it, 10 minutes after he left my house.
