Broken Gift

Friendship, a beautiful gift, broken...

Broken Gift

 

Denying the truth

Won't hide the pain

Do you have no shame?

Or is this just some other stupid game

 

Once more I'm the third wheel

In this s****y deal

If only you know how I feel

When I'm the one trying to be real

 

I try so hard to give it all up

But as I wake up

Seeing you on top

My once called love

 

You took my friendship

And tore it apart

Shredded it to the very last bit

Where my spirt can no longer find the will

To fix this broken gift

 

What more do you want me to do

After all I've done for you

 

Regret is what I hope you have

Not trying to make it sound bad

But you know what, f**k it

I'll be the b***h

Since you don't wanna take credit

For your s**t

 

My thoughts, my life

Don't matter no more

So quit the act

No ones around to collect the facts

I always thought you'd have my back

 

Guess I was wrong

I'll just go smoke from a bong

 

Nah

Instead you'll be the main reason

I got another scar

Right across my arm

But compared to my heart

Thats just some pathetic mark

 

Maybe its best for me to leave

Only because I can't stay here and grieve

I think its my time to go

I'll leave you with your broken gift

 

The day goes by

And the minutes tick away

As my heart gives me a sway

I don't know what I should say

After I've been betrayed

Nice title. I like how this is a harsh-edged poem with some venom, but you control it with form and rhyme…well done. Sometimes it’s easier just to blurt out emotions and lose creative discipline, but you’ve reigned it in without losing the impact. Thanks for posting.

this is pretty sad. But I like how it had emotion in it and showed how you really felt. Great poem
