Out on a limb

by K.B. - Aries

It’s all so easy for the ones who’ve loved
And got love in return
But for me it’s not as simple as that
His love would just make my heart burn

I pushed him away like I didn’t even care
When everyone knew how I felt
No matter how precious I thought he was
The situation was very misdealt

His kisses he would offer to me
And his hugs they came so freely
Just a game to him that’s all it was
Yet it hurt me oh so deeply

He never cared and I knew it would be
That way for all of my life
So I thought to myself that there was a better way
And became best friends with a knife

The pain he caused me was covered then
By the pain I was causing myself
To end my love and life that day 
Would take my heart off that shelf

The shelf that kept my from loving me
Or anyone else for that matter
It was all about him and nothing else
He caused my life to just shatter

As I cry here now with blood on my hands
I wonder why he was so special
No guy is worth the treatment I got
He was such an awful hassle.

So take my tears and all this pain
And give it right back to him
One day he’ll want a love that he can’t have
Then fall off of that broken limb

Reason for writing:

    How many times have you gone to the ends of the earth for that one guy when he just ignored you or treated you like dirt? I've done it too many times.
