Giving up so you don't have to

What do you do when the one you love is the one you hate?
If your life is just a sick twist of faith!
How do you feel when broken is the origins of who you are?
If your beauty was the curse, that attracted this scare.
If all the good you've done feels all wrong.
If you feel weak on the inside but you try to be strong.
If you pray for them to change but their best just won't do.
If you try to move on but the past sticks like glue.

If walking away is the only way through
And in twenty three years of breathing there's been no one but you
If falling in love was as sudden as death
And after years of crying there are no more tears left
If you give them a chance cause your to afraid to move on
And you know that they've changed but it took them to long
If you want to let go but the thought brakes your heart
And every time that you try, you're right back at the start

So I'm pondering to try but my heart wont give in
And it's not easy to leave, when I walk out I dream
That you're taking a knife and you're cutting your wrists
There's crowd on their way I can't get to you first
In the dream it's my fault that you gave up on life
So I wake up and hold you, I take back the knife
See I know that you need me but I needed you to
But you couldn't care less if I died without you

Now you're crying and begging, like I caused your pain
You're the one who destroyed me, now I'm taking the blame
For leaving me lonely and I'm the one who was wrong
For your lying and cheating now you can't seem to move on
Isn't this what you wanted, for me not to care?
What you do with your time yet you say it's not fair
I don't understand, you don't give me a choice
I forgive and forget yet you still raise your voice
When all I wanted was your love and all you dished out was lies
But I realized it's your fault when love hurts it dies

This is a very good piece. I love it from beginning to end. Most often the person does know that he or she is at fault but reuses to see the answers to the questions that you ask.. I think that they alsmost always know the answer and sometime all it takes is just some time apart for them to realize how dumb they have been not see hog good they had it with the other person that they are trying to blame everything on right now. Great writing young lady!

The answer to the question lies in the question
One's truth to the matter isn't the real reason
Life is a continuous circle, difficult to get off while moving.

To hurt is an expression of a strange kind of love
A feeling that comes from years of what everyone knows
Below zero temperature preserves the already cold at heart.

In the end you grow numb to the pain yet to linger!

Wonderful poem with so much raw emotion for my heart bleeds too.

So full of emotions it's hard to take it all in.
I understand the feelings yet I have to read it again and again.
I'd be glad to come back for more.
Take care,
