I Am Bitter

I Am Bitter

I try to be happy and grateful that you stayed, 
and you were not a quitter. My hurt over rides
any other emotion. I hate you for how you lied,
for all the times I cried. I wish I never gave 
you my devotion. 
I told you to be straight from
the start. I made it clear I didn't want you
to break my heart. I am angry at myself for
caring the way I did. Any feelings I had for
you I should have hid. Maybe if I was cold like 
I was told you never would have had the chance
to take hold of my love. I tried not to fall
so hard, well sort of. 
You lied to a girl; you
only wanted to creep. And in the process
you lost the one that made your heart weep.
 I'm so
angry; I cannot get over it, I never will.
 My heart 
cries and cries even as time passes by.
 I feel so
used, so not appreciated, so not loved.
 I am so 
bitter.
 My life would have been filled 
with less pain, if you were a quitter.

You've painted a lyrical portrait...images filled with deep anguish and heartbreak, rage and disillusionment. Such an enveloping mistress of words you are, I again, salute you. A 10 (as always).

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
