I Came With a Warning Label

by Ellie M. - Scorpio

I warned you where I stood, "I"m not ready for that..."
I would run-I had my shoes on, the door open, I almost could...
Not wanting to be tied, I should've took my strings and left...it would have been best.
I told you, I had warned you from the start.  I would keep my heart.
It was mine, not yours to take.  And yours, I didn't mean to break.
I was like brick and stone, you never understood about my wall, maybe if you had, you wouldn't have tried at all.
I didn't mean to hurt you like I did, and I'm sorry I always kept my feelings hid.
I should've said no and kept you from all this pain, the lies and unhappiness, now you'll never look at me the same.
It's my fault, i thought i was protecting you, when all i was doing was actually harming you.
I was like a poison, in your veins, hurting you, making you sick.
You should have sucked me out and cleaned the wounds...i'm not the medicine you should pick.
I've learned now I must point out the warning and make sure the directions are read.
And hope you understood everything I said.

Reason for writing:

    A break up can be a hard thing, for one of the people or both.  Sometimes they don't go well...
