Angry

When you run out of excuses.

                  ANGRY

 

I made excuses for you at every turn,

And polished and pasted,

To make your sins seem less than,

The monumental treachery that they were.

 

I am so angry,

That you keep proving to me,

Just what you really are,

And I have run out of excuses.

 

It is amazing that you cannot see,

The way you tear me apart,

The way I still yearn to be near you,

Even bleeding and broken beyond repair.

 

To you I am the unreasonable one,

And you have erred not at all,

I am screaming so loud because I need you to understand,

That I have no justification for you.

  

And I give up,

You will never change into the you,

That I believed you were,

And I have run out of reasons to remain at your side.

Still just thinking.

Thanks for sharing Vidya.
I enjoy reading powerful poems like this.

This is my favourite stanza........

"I made excuses for you at every turn,

And polished and pasted,

To make your sins seem less than,

The monumental treachery that they were."

Sometimes we get so disappointed in people we love and trust.
To a point where even the excuses we make for them do not make sense anymore.

I know your situation Vidya

Thanks again for sharing this beautiful piece

I can relate to this feeling of believing in someone and being taken advantage of..It is a terrible feeling and at some point - reality has to set it and you have to say enough is enough. You have made your point well in this well written poem.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Jules you are very right.At some point we have to say enough is enough.

[Anita Singh]

This piece is so heartfelt. A relationship which started so beautifully turned into something so sour. And all that is left in the heart is anger and regrets.

"It is amazing that you cannot see,
The way you tear me apart,
The way I still yearn to be near you,
Even bleeding and broken beyond repair." This hit home in many ways. Thank you for sharing this, VIDYA.

It is amazing that you cannot see,

The way I still yearn to be near you,
Even bleeding and broken beyond repair.

Kaze~

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Kaze :)

Your very welcome. :-)

[Shirlena]

We think a lot about what we experience and wish we could take back...relationships can be filled with regrets and missed intentions. I cringe myself over some things and they just pop in your head sometimes and we have not control over it. Your poem brings those things to light for so many. Poetry is such a good way to move on such as this one Vid.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Shirlena for your very kind words :)

Ah! I hate seeing someone as beautiful as gorgeous as marvelous as horny as cool as you feel sad and bad right lay on a bed under the shed of a man feeling cry and sad. This poem's all about the agression of an angel. Words're get plucked from the heart and bleed onto the paper.

Keep Writing!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Aww thank you Neon for your lovely review.I will keep on writing as should you because you are an awesome writer my friend :)

[Neon]

Thanks, pretty for the beautiful kind scented marvelous words, your words make my day, night and my whole life. Am glad to make an angel smile again after a long time. Hey, pretty .... are you working on anything new? :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

I must admit I seem to be stumped right now.Not a poem comes to mind.I hate when that happens but the more I try the harder it is to write lol

[Neon]

Lol, yeah sometimes when I pull a chair to sit and type some words on a keyboard, most of the time, words don't hit on my mind how to write and jot down but when they come, believe me, they're all go fired up and YOU KNOW IT..:p HAHA ISN'T IT?? :)

[Neon]

Lol ..Haha! Am again honored to make some glow on an angelic face, pretty. Thank god, your a good angel. Cus, me too love good angels not cause I am afraid of bad angels but I don't wanna lose my image I've built in the eyes, into the depth of the hearts of good angels :) So, stay good, pretty..but yeah, sometimes, you can be bad after all.. sometimes, I love bad angels and love loosing my image as well ...And angels love it. How funny is that! Haha!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Very funny my friend :)

[redflutterby]

Powerful Vidya...I get the feel this relates to a love relationship but it also can apply to other relationships. Both friend and family. When others blame everything on you and refuse to see their own error it can be hard. Yes we yell louder to be heard...to say HEY!! WAKE UP! But thats usually in vain. Very compelling write... ;-)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Red and you are very right it can be about anyone that we love that takes us for granted.

[外人 (Gaiji..]

Superbly penned, great pathos, simple but extremely effective. You convey the feelings you feel in such a natural way it looks like we're there with you.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you so much for these very kind words :)
