Better Than Me

Better Than Me

A Poem by Jeff
"

This is the old me from many years ago.

"

I'm sorry for the drugs

I'm sorry for the drinking

I'm sorry for the women

I don't know

What to say anymore

I can't keep saying “I'm sorry”

I can't keep us going

How I'm living today


You deserve better than me

You deserve a love

Stronger than me

I can't fix me

I can't keep leaving you alone

I need to leave this home

You need someone better

Better than I can be

This piece is very moving. It's brutally honest. Brutality in poetry makes for a fine piece. Well done!

awe :( so sad. just because you think you can't be good for her, now you want her to find someone better. what a love! when we are in love, some people become deadly possessive, even if it meant hurting the one they love. but this is so much different, you still think of your partner's freedom and the right to have a happy life which you cannot give or should i say which you can hardly do for her because of some reasons. very sad and great work!

I was glad to see your note on the work.. so sadly reflective. There is that sense we sometimes have of being trapped, and loving so much we pour ourselves deep into a hole.. unable to see our redemption. We honest and striking.

Nothing like having been there, to bring out the gritty truth with just the right level of emotion to get the message across. Excellent.
