My life I was used
And verbally abused
When life got me down
You took away my frown
LOVE

By Matthew Burnside
You never know how well you have it
Until it all goes away
You take advantage of it
Then it all goes astray
You start to cry
Why is that? I know why
You realize she is the best
But you treat her like the rest
You sit in your bed and pout
You look to the skis and shout
"My body feels numb
but why was I so dumb?"
my life has gone astray
why did I let her get away
she fit me like a glove
that's why I fell in love
she was smart and kind
with a lot on her mind
when I start to frown
she calms me down
I look into her eyes
And I see a surprise
A warm loving glow
That starts to show
My life had gone astray
Why did I let her get away
She fit me like a glove
That's why I fell in love
I couldn't think anew
Because my thoughts were of you
I could look but not touch
But I love you so much
I got a jumpstart of pride
On that one car ride
I was sitting, a lone man
Then you grabbed my hand
My heart was all aflutter
But me head was in the gutter
With another guy I see
Your eyes filled with glee
I could look but not touch
But I love you so much
I got a jumpstart of pride
On that one car ride
The "new" year came
And I was to blame
I was truly the only
One who was so lonely
You filled my life with glee
You and your beauty
And it filled me with glee
When you said that you liked me
Once again my heart was aflutter
But my head was in the gutter
With another man I see
That you are happy
I wanted to start anew
But thinking of you
I couldent do a thing
My heart was on a string
You were my words and thoughts
My stomach was in knots
I wanted to start anew
But I was thinking anew
I started to go astray
But you showed me the way
With a kiss to the lips
That made me do flips
You fit me like a glove
That's why I fell in love
The look in your eyes show
That warm loving glow
I got too distracted
And too attracted
But unlike the rest
You were the best
But with the warnings givin
I couldent keep this love hidden
I gave it a shrug
And I gave you a hug
That was a mistake
That I cant unmake
This cannot be fate
I have let down my mate
I take it with strife
But I ruined your life
I take it with strife
But I want to take my life
I am without you
My life is askew
I try to ask you out
But the words wont come out
My life is aflood
In a pool of my own blood
Without you in my life
I am ending it with a knife
I have made mistakes and such
But this is too much
My life is all askew
All I think about is you
My heart is all aflutter
But my head is in the gutter
For I have made a mistake
That I cant unmake
As I take this breath
And welcome in death
I am the only
One who is truly lonly
I wrote this out of sadness, what I talked about in this poem, aside from the killing myself actually happened to me, I hugged my girlfriend and was suspended for it, a bunch of people were mad at the school for it and wanted me to fight, but I didn't because one day of in-school suspention isnt much. but in the suspention, I wrote this after me and her broke up.
