I DID

Once I looked into your eyes 

I knew what would come of

Us, at least I thought I did 

Until I messed up or so I thought

I did, You told me it was my 

Fault, you told me I was wrong

And I believed you, I thought

it was me, I burned dinner 

I fell asleep before you came 

home, I allowed my friends to 

talk bad about you, I gave you 

an attitude, I rolled my eyes

I talked back, I shed a tear in

front of company, I ripped the

dress, and I did it on purpose

I thought it was my fault, and 

I searched for ways to make it

better, and found the perfect 

Way, It wasn't me it was you! 

You only saw the bad never

the why, why was dinner 

over cooked, why I fell

asleep, why my friends

talked bad about you, 

why i gave you an attitude

why i rolled my eyes, talked

back, shed that tear in front

of company, ripped that dress

I don't owe you anything but

i want it for myself, so i'll 

fill you in, dinner was over

cooked because your side piece

called, told me what you were

doing at those late meetings

i fell asleep after you called

me on our anniversary to tell

me you caught a late flight 

you'd be back in a week, 

i love you too! my friends

talked bad because they only 

saw bad, you never gave them

a good thing to go by. i gave

you an attitude because i 

wanted out but also i 

wanted your attention

i rolled my eyes hoping you'd

see, hoping you'd yell at me 

because again the stupid part

of me still wanted you to pay

attention, talked back to make 

conversation, shed that tear in

front of company because she 

was sitting at the table looking

at me judging, judging me like

i meant nothing like a peasant 

asked to join a high class dinner

not a wife with her husband

Oh yeah and that dress 

I was wrong 

I did rip that dress 

I ripped it

I did 

To signify 

To show you 

To demonstrate 

How a boss leaves a man 

That I once thought was a man 

and now i only see a pig 

I see trash!

This carries a strong message of hope. There's a certain amount of power that comes with letting go of the thing or person that hurts you, even if it's uncertain. It can be scary to let that thing go when it's "comfortable" or after you've put so much work into making it better. I'm glad the dinner was burnt. I'm glad the dress is ruined! I'm glad your stupid dinner friends don't like me! And I'm glad you're gone!!! As you can see, I've now become the narrator... Good job! :)

Strong message expressing wounded feelings. Yeah, this is how a female feels and reacts at pain and injustice. Very well written . I can understand that very well.
