Time Bomb

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

In a way, I envy you
You with all your problems
And wretched lies
Always did seem better off than me
Then again you shouldn't have gotten too close 
Should have realised that I was a time bomb waiting to explode
For I had been shy for long enough
A little girl in a tough world
Reaching for hands that didn't even want me
Well, mentally
Physically they craved me
And what I could give them
I allowed them in
For it was the only way for me to feel affection
Even if it was only through use
You should have realised then that something would happen
Then again
I'm happy that it did
For if it hadn't occured
I'd still be the girl who didn't believe
In herself or anything around her
And I'd still be crying the salty tears
You'd cause me to cry each night
Everytime you called me a failure.
