A story so familiar it need not be named

[this is not me]

Why is the door opened for her and closed for me?
Why did you pull me so close to set me free?

I hate you; Your soul is not true!

You are everything you think you are not
And nothing you say you are!

I'm glad you pushed me away.
I'm glad I'll never see the day!

You didn't even give us a chance.
I didn't even get one dance!

I'm glad you pushed me away.
I'm glad I'll never see the day!

I'm haunted by your face.
Jealous, I never got one taste!

You are a liar; Why did I admire?

I'm glad you pushed me away.
I'm glad I'll never see the day!

You may ask
Why I hide under this mask.
I say I am glad,
When I am truly mad.

I showed you raw emotion
Through all of this commotion
You told me not to fret
She was not a threat
I knew she had feelings
I painted them on your ceiling
You read them; You denied them
I almost believed...when,
My thoughts were confirmed
My heart was then burned.

So, I am mad!
I am sad!
But, I am glad!

Glad, you've found love!
Glad, I've been set free like a dove.
Glad, I was right.
Glad, it was in my sight.
Glad, I have a reason to let you go!
Glad, my answer to you will always be no!

beautiful line!!! ah honey, I recognise this poem from my life! raw emotion and like the repetition - the rhyme and the BEGINNING of the line!!!! very clever!! (was thinking of the glad, glad, glad bit)

Glad, my answer to you will always be no!

and make sure it is!!! those who go away and then try to come back are not to be trusted - they shouldnt have gone away in the first place and just shows that if they think they'll get a better off then they'll go again!!!!

definately clapping here. self preservation in any form to become a better person is so necessary in growth. I feel you on this one in a personal experience. Sounds like anger but comes in the end of healthiness great stuff !
