Poems
Feel almost hatred towards the way you treated me
I think I was trapped by love, just because
Wanting commitment, needing that security
Didn't know it was something you couldn't give.
I'm glad I got away from all that- you turned me away
Told me you weren't worth it, you were right
I pretended you didn't hurt me so much every day
That it was myself I learned to harm and fight.
I bear the scars of wasted love on my arm.
Maybe I have lost security, I'm alone now
But I learn to grow strong, stand on my own feet
Rather than crushing your weak body as you bow
Here's my pride, dignity, mine to share with those I meet
Whoever I like, theres no shame anymore, just caution.
When I realised the way you really are
I laughed; I was stupid to love you- fool
How could I have let it get that far?
The blindness of 'love' made me your tool.
Yet you know it was all your fault,
I did nothing wrong, you tell me what I already know
A bad workman doesn't always blame his tools.
