So here's another fight,
Another day and another night
where you’re telling me
everything that I do wrong
But what is this I see?
A certain strength rising in me
Telling me not to take it anymore
and walk right out the door

So my darling,
has your jaw hit the floor?
Surprised that I’m not crying
Surprised that I could
find my feet and walk away?
Surprised that I could get angry
and mean every word that I say?
Surprised that I'm not sorry?

Well look who can dish it out,
but can't take what he gives
You say it hurts, baby?
How you're trembling...
How do you think I felt before
when you said worse words to me?

So my darling,
has your jaw hit the floor?
What am I missing?
Besides you in this pathetic state
I bet you never thought
I could be this way, but
now I've got a lot to say
And it's too bad, so sad
that we have to play these games
of love and war, but hey
at least at war I can win

Because I'm strong,
even though you think I'm not
Because I'm big enough
to admit when I'm wrong
And because I love myself enough
To know that this isn’t how
I want my life to go

So my darling, tell me,
has your jaw hit the floor?
Now that you know,
I’m more than you bargained for

Wonderful work!!!  *Applause*

I loved this... the repition was perfect, each time it was repeated was stronger and stronger.  I loved the message... like you finally told everyone what you really feel, and if they expect you to be sorry, tough luck because you're not.  I think I need to that way more often...

Kick-arse poem you have here... it's going straight in my library!!

Can't wait to see more..

that was awesome.  I know what you mean.  Great job.

Don't let your mind wander, it's much to small to be out by itself.

Yoda, my friend, what can I say?

*claps* I loved it.   A powerful piece, with, as was said, perfect repitition. A stand up for yourself piece, but very well done. I enjoyed it. As always, I love you work. Keep it up, and I'll see you soon.  

Sincerely,
Titus
