Last Time by StephenP(m): 6:26pm On Nov 24, 2008
For the last time I felt rage,
Anger in its purest form,
Untainted by the scent of her perfume, the touch of her skin,
Or by the love tucked deep in my heart for emergencies like this,
For moments where she gets me so pissed.
When clenched fists and deep breaths aren’t enough to soothe the soul
You burned me baby
Turning my love into coal
I stare into her eyes
And see nothing left
I want to give her what she deserves
So I turn stealth
My mission is to mirror her actions
An eye for an eye
A heart for a heart
I have loved you for the last time
No longer longing to rewind back to the start
Freed by the recklessness of your selfish mind
Once upon a time I was jailed in the thoughts of losing you
Imprisoned to my vision of our happily ever after
I was so sure
Sure that the bridge of trials would be crossed by us
And our dreams would come true
Our love would reach peaks with love filled creeks
A meadow for us to lay and bask in each others' presence even after we turn gray
I was so sure
You would be the one I would risk it all for
So sure your smile was worth fighting for
Yet shut doors can’t be opened without a key
And I can’t pick the locks because it mocks my integrity
I watched you change back to the life you swore you left behind
Pleading to know my crime
Did I love you too much?
Was my loyalty not enough?
Has my affection been redirected as lust?
When you feel the haunting chill of loneliness surround you as you stare at your empty bed
Remember what I’ve said
I loved you more than you deserved though I was never your priority
Now I see past your pain, I see the character of a girl yearning to be a woman again
If only you would learn humility, then maybe you could see
That love is hard to find in this world, but I came to you wholeheartedly
In due time you will receive an awakening of all senses
An epiphany
A moment in which you will regret the day you consciously chose to hurt me
