Poems about life

Truth and Consequence

There is something deep inside my soul

A dark place that you will never know

You had the chance to be more than you are

But now you'll never know the reasons for my scars

I gave you my trust hoping I would get some back

And all I know now is all that you lack

You weren't worth my time or the tears I cried

And I didn't deserve to hear all your lies

The simple truth could have kept this at bay

Time wasted on excuses could have made it okay

If you had only once thought of me with all you said

Our friendship would be hurt instead of being dead



GIVING UP ON KARMA

I've given up on people more times than you know

I've walked away easily without a care

Never once regretting what I made so

Not really wondering if what I'd done was fair

But now here I am caught up on this place

Alone and angry for what you've done to me

I can feel the hurt and taste the tears on my face

But all I say is thank you for finally making me see

That the destruction that occurs with actions untold

The uknown reasons between the truth and a lie

May set you free but it also grabs ahold

And it keeps me here not knowing why





WORTH IT?

I can't stand here and let you leave

So i walk away although its killing me

Does that make me someone you don't want?

Or does it protect my already broken heart?

I didn't think it would hurt as much as it does

Yet I wouldn't trade our time for anything

As short as it was, it made me smile

And I hadn't felt that happy in a long time

I knew you were going from the very start

But I threw my heart in the dark anyway

no caution or thinking what tomorrow could bring

Only living in the moment mattered to me

I am here alone without anything now

And you are so far away from where I am

Just talking to you brings an ache to my soul

But a broken heart seems worth the love we almost had



MEMORIES OF A HEART

What does it mean when you give your heart away?

Do you get it back or does it just stay gone?

I never knew it could hurt that you offered to stay

But I found that it hurt less when you broke our bond

You would have given me the world if I had let you

But I knew staying would have torn you apart

So I turned my back and you did what you had to do

You gave me the memory, so you can keep my heart
