Take Me or Leave Me

This write is true, friendship always can find a way out of my life. But I'm okay with it, because I dont want to be friends with someone that can just walk away without feeling anything.

Take Me or Leave Me

 

People come in and out of my life,

But the way I see it is,

If you don’t want my heart

Then be on your way.

 

The people that do matter have told me

That anyone is lucky to have me in their life,

So its their loss for walking away from someone great.

Take me or leave me, its your choice.

 

Trust me, I wont shred a tear if you turn away.

There’s reasons why those people aren’t in my life anymore

Usually I find out later or I'll never know

And its something I can live with.

 

I don’t care what you’ve said

You can talk all the s**t you want

Because I know what I am

And I’m glad I saw who you really are

 

To be honest, if you were worth anything

I would be crawling at my knees

Begging for your friendship back

But I’m not, because your true colors are out

 

I’ve known you for three years

And your going to take someone

You haven’t even known for a year side?

Its cool, because I don’t need you either

 

I just thought you had more class

I also thought your heart was bigger

And I even thought you were my friend

But I guess I was dead wrong

 

Your best friend was taking my side

And even she sees that its wrong of what you did

So your use to be best friend, is now mine

Its funny how things work out

 

Of all the people I’ve told of what happened

Have said the same exact thing about both of you

And I was told by you, that I was crazy

Are you absolutely so sure about that?

 

I’ve said my apologies

And I really didn’t know what I was sorry for

I just thought it was the right thing to do

Because my heart is just that way

 

You see, you act all sweet and nice

Once people first meet you,

But then everything goes down hill from there

And slowly everything you are starts to show

 

You couldn’t hide anymore from me

Because as days turned into months

I started to figure what you are

A cold hearted human being

 

Honestly, I could have burned you

I know all your deepest secrets

If I was a bad person,

I would have told the world

 

So on this final note

I’ve walked away completely

And once I do

I’m not turning back

 

When you come crawling back

Because I was right

I’m going to try not to laugh in your face

And turn away, leaving you, like you did me

 

I have everyone I want in my life

And the future feels brighter

I can just taste it

Because I have who I want by my side

Awww..this was absolutely beautiful...or I should say beautifully sad.
I felt like as if you have ripped your heart out here in this piece, with all of your emotions.
Loved it, great work :)

WoW

Just a marvelous piece written indeed !!!
It takes someone like you to express those feelings that lay deep inside of us at times ... very very powerful words spoken

Awesome !!!

Good poem! It takes a strong person to be able to say that and believe it. But you're right. Its their loss. It always is. Good job.

We must learn the hard way. Most of us do. A outstanding poem. I like the strong statements and the ending. Sometime better to escape then swim in the B.S.

People are strange. I've had people think they know me, remain somewhat loyal to some imaginary version of myself, and casually betray true meaning without even realizing it. So whether overt or covert, implicit or explicit, it is always best to cultivate the garden of individual being and let all else sort itself out.

Your poem is a paean to being one's own best friend, and that stance will never let you down. Cultivate it with honest inquiry and be the best you can be.

Wow you're on the attack. It's really hard when we get hurt, and we often do slide back to the people that support us for backing. Just really strongly written, not "Quiet" in the least. I think almost everyone can think of a relationship like this. I know I can!
