Torment

by The Showstoppa - Taurus

You don't have to try anymore. 
You  don't have to hear what I say. 
You don't need to look for the answers
 to stay.
	
And though I've been cheated, 
and though I've been pushed away, 
I don't need to ask you anymore 
to stay.
	
I've been pushed around 
stepped upon, 
left in the cold and rain. 
I've been left behind, 
drug around 
and pained. 
Bent on you, 
stuck on you, 
felt for sure.
	
But tomorrow came too quickly, 
and everything so clear. 
I don't need to hear from anyone you're near. 
So take your things and leave behing all you've come to care. 
And take the world you've come to know a
nd leave me behind. 
Leave this place and don't come back. 
No, don't you dare.
	
Cause I've felt for you, 
longed for you, 
fought through the years. 
And I've been waiting on 
that extra hope you'd be near. 
Bent on you, 
stuck on you,
felt for sure.

But what happened to yesterday 
cannot be forgotten. 
And everything I've fought for 
cannot be left behind. 
So take all that is you 
and leave all that is me. 
No longer will I ask to show your true feelings.
	
Cause it's messed up
broke up 
and I no longer care 
that you don't give a damn about anyone anywhere. 
These feelings tossed and pushed around 
like nobody's buisness. 
Left me stranded. 
Now what's fair?
	
But now the damage is done
and I have nothing left. 
Instead of asking you to think it through,
 I don't care!
	
~Solos~
	
So now I leave you
	
Stranded out, 
left about without wear. 
All the things I've said to you 
I will not tear 
away from my heart 
and from my soul. 
You will have left behind. 
From all the pain 
I feel to the joy of life
you're still there. 
	
So get rid of your anger 
and leave the past behind. 
No matter what happens to you, 
I still care. 
Don't worry about my anger. 
Although it's still there. 
But I will not be drug into your world. 
For your mourning and heartbreak 
you've passed on to me. 
I will not be drug into that game...

Reason for writing:

    Well, between getting dumped by a girl I gave my heart to about 4 months ago, and falling in love with my best friend, I decided that my mixed emotions were getting the best of me. I wrote this originally as a song, and converted it to poem form the best I could. This poem expresses how much hate I have for my ex, but how much I'm leaning towards the love that my bestfriend is giving. 

The whole last stanza express what I have felt from hearing my bestfriend talk about how much she hates or dislikes her boyfriend, but still continues to stay with him after I have told her how much I care and want to be with her.
