Refusing to subject yourself to pain

I loved you with all my heart 

And I put all my faith in you,

But you hurt me and at the start 

I believed you when you told me...

"I'm so sorry, please don't worry, 

It'll never happen again", 

But those were lies, surprise surprise, 

And you just kept inflicting pain...

Now I can't take it anymore -

You have went and torn us apart -

So I'm getting up off the floor

And standing on my own two feet. 

Hear me please wind, I can't pretend

I'm not filled with hate; I beg you, 

Take me away, I just can't stay 

After everything I've been through.

I'm afraid of going alone 

But I know staying would be worse, 

Not just due to the fits you're prone

To but my lack of self respect. 

I know you will be surprised 

                                      But

Believe I've gone; this fight I've won.

Oh hell yeah! When I'm reading you, I keep thinking you are a person in your 30's or older, then it blows my mind when I see your profile describing you as a teen. Most younger people write about love in a kinda two-dimensional way, but the way you express your feelings is multi-dimensional, complex, & true-to-life. Being able to connect with your own feelings & express them the way you do is the most important part of writing, plus you also have the mechanics down pat. I enjoy reading you.

Thank you! This is one of the most confidence inspiring reviews I've ever had. I'm so glad that you appreciate my work and, above all, my attempts at understanding and expressing emotions and feelings beyond that of which I've actually experienced in life. Though I find my own emotions hard to deal with sometimes, I feel I have a small talent of imagining different situations and expressing the appropriate thoughts and feelings... and this review has given me a great sense of relief that I have managed this at a high enough level to please the reader. Thanks again.
