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

I actually DID this to someone. I was their friend, but felt uncomfortable because of their living situation. By the time I trried to make my way back to the friendship it was all over. I miss that friendship the way I would miss a limb. But the loss of losing that friend is a lesson that I shall carry forever. GREAT work here!

First of all, let me say thank you for requesting this to me(: I tried to rate it 150 but it wouldn't let me):

Second, I must say that within the first few lines I found the words I wish I could have told people a long time ago, about how if you don't want my heart, don't be in my life. I also like how you go on to say how you don't care what people say, and how you're glad you know the person you thought you knew was actually someone that was something you wouldn't even want to get involved with in the first place. And yes, that was a mouthful(: I've been enjoying long sentences lately.

Third, I understand how sometimes when you want a friendship so badly you tend to apologize when it's completely unnecessary...about crazy things they blamed you for but were never true. A few months ago my friend's friend convinced her that I was chillin with her too much and by that, I'm obsessed with her. And she went on to believe it. And as I told my other friends they all sided with me. They called her rediculous for losing a friend like me over some b***h with a cold heart who was jealous because we were closer than they were. So trust me, I understand. This poem really helped me understand that no matter what age or where you are, it's going to be the same. But you have to find ways to deal with it.

I love how you talk about how they seemed so nice at first, then they just get worse and worse. Like they're trying to make an impression but later on once they have, they figure they won't have to impress anymore so they give up and decide to hurt you. And half the time they switch the situation around to make it out like it was your fault.

And lastly, I love how you walked away(: Because after so long, it was ME crawling back to THEM. After they hurt me so deeply, to the point of scars..literally...But after the end of 7th grade, I learned it feels so much better knowing they figured out they f**ked up and yet at the same time, after wounding you so deeply and then coming back numerous times to salt your wounds, they actually think they'll be friends with you again!! And that's the part that makes you laugh(: Because they actually think they're STILL good enough to be with you even though they're a fake little chameleon that will blend into any social environment they stumble into.

Great job, I really felt this one in my heart.

Sorry for the novel I just wrote above ^^^ (:

When you love someone you love them for who they are not what you can make them into... deeply powerful writing.

Sometimes, we just have to follow the trees example... shed our leaves in the fall, so we can grow new ones in the spring. Excellent.

I guess that is all you can do! Least you know what is best. Go with that feeling. The gut feeling knows the best. This is a well expressed and emotional write.
