Survivor

No boy is worth the tears!!

One million one, one million two

Still counting the pieces of my heart

One million three, one million four

You were the one that tore it apart

 

One million five, one million six

You are always staring at me

One million seven, one million eight

Crying is what you want to see

 

One million nine, one million ten

I'll admit, some feelings still linger

One million eleven, one million twelve

But that doesn't mean I'll stop giving you the middle finger

 

One million thirteen, one million fourteen

I'm done crying over you

One million fifteen, one million sixteen

And hoping what happened never came true

 

One million seventeen, one million eighteen

You didn't destroy my life

One million nineteen, one million twenty

And you didn't cause that much strife

 

One million twenty-one, one million twenty-two

You're not worth it, you never were

One million twenty-three, one million twenty-four

A loyal and honest guy is what i prefer

 

One million twenty-five, one million twenty-six

So keep thinking you've had an impact

One million twenty-seven, one million twenty-eight

But you're just pathetic, that's a fact

 

One million twenty-nine, one million thirty

I found all the pieces to my heart

So now you can go to hell

Because you will never see me fall apart

Author's Note

"One million nine, one million ten
I'll admit, some feelings still linger
One million eleven, one million twelve
But that doesn't mean I'll stop giving you the middle finger"

"One million twenty-five, one million twenty-six
So keep thinking you've had an impact
One million twenty-seven, one million twenty-eight
But you're just pathetic, that's a fact"

Great job!

Fantastic - I loved this. The counting just gave it that spiked edge that kept you reading. This peice was pact with emotive feeling. I like the part when you said "
"you will never see me fall apart"
It's a tho you were telling him you may see me scream and you may see me shout But one thing you will never see is me cry.
great work
Beyonce Michelle and Kelly done you proud

I can agree with everyone on the counting affect. It adds to it and the number of pieces says that it can take a while to heal. A sad moment but a nice write.
I can feel the anger and the patients in this.
Still gonna give him the finger. That's funny!
Well don't with this.

very powerful piece the counting effect really gives this poem a unique feel to it... very impressive piece ... good job on this.

[Joseph - Michael]

You know, I really enjoyed reading it very much. I mean, I love how you were counting as you're speaking out like that. The countings, somehow, it just tell me that's how many time the heart had beaten shortly right after it was broken

So, it's all really great there...

This is wonderful. I like the flow of it especially. The counting really accentuated the work well. I love the end... been there... LOL Many cheers.

Well, I best go find my copy of Survivor and have a listen. Yeah, OK, I have the Destiny's Child CD. These things happen - I was trying to get in touch with my feminine side......This really works well, a great idea, well put together - a strong write.
I feel like agreeing that no boy is worth it after reading this but my feminine side doesn't stretch that far. Have to say though that guys that treat woman like crap are not worth anything.

A nice revenge filled rant, the counting in between sort of contradicts what you wish to portray, as I see it, someone whom tears the pieces of your heart apart this many times, had to be worth it at some point, just my personal thought.
