In my life I’ve made some choices,
I’ve shut out the harmful voices;
of people who will tear me down,
and people who won’t be around.

I’ve shut my eyes to not go blind,
I see their hearts within my mind;
For eyes cannot begin to see,
what people have in store for me.

I’ve tried so hard to understand,
why things don’t go the way I’ve planned,
and now I have begun to see,
with heart and soul, it’s clear to me.

Sometimes I find I’m trapped inside,
a world that I’ve begun to hate.
the screaming masses are too much,
for me, alone, to have to take...

There was someone who I held dear,
he made my future bright and clear,
But somewhere we got lost in time
and he had left me far behind.

Ever since that cold December,
It’s been too hard to remember,
how long I’ve frozen in this place;
this pain is too much to erase!

I loathe the day, my heart does too;
cuz I just can’t stop missing you.
The day shines light on all my pain,
and I just can’t survive this way!

It’s even harder, just because,
this isn’t what I thought it was.
I thought you’d come around by now...
I guess I ruined your life somehow.

But that’s not really fair to think!
I know that there’s a missing link...
you left me in the dark so long,
that I don’t even know what’s wrong!

My body’s so messed up right now,
I need to get away somehow,
I can’t keep going on like this!
I’ve fallen down to the abyss.

I can’t believe that what I see,
really used to belong to me!
Your heart is now a stone cold rock,
to me, it came as such a shock...

I never saw this coming, but,
your heart had never fully shut.
So I thought I’d be fine for now,
that we could get along somehow.

But now it looks like I’m dead wrong,
and now I see you’re really gone.
Well, maybe I will heal someday.
But now that seems so far away.
(I still like this poem, but don't get me wrong, I don't hate love. As a matter of fact, I have a boyfriend again now who treats me right, and I enjoy his company very much :) )
