Peek-a-boo
Here I am
Heart in hand
Once again.

Can you believe
I fell so hard
Oh what a laugh
Its so absurd.

To think that I
A cynical fool
Could be taken in
By such as you.

I laugh out loud
At the tears inside
So who's to know
All the nights I cried.

I write my story
Here in this verse
I tell myself
Not to scream and curse.

At the heart that lied
And made passionate vows
Tell me this?
Where are you now?

Do I hold the pain
Go on loving you
Or get the best revenge
And find someone new.

Ouch!  Whoa!  Definitely gave me the chills there!  
Wonderfully expressed! (although the feelings are far from wonderful)

Don't waste time on revenge or anything else...if you are ready to find someone else then do it.  Revenge and the thought of it will just take away your happiness in your next relationship.  Not worth it....

Alot of emotion in this one.

Paula nice expression of your feelings...
the best way to get satisfaction is to let it go and get on with the important business in your life...finding happiness with yourself and with someone new...it really works...James

Paula~
Powerful piece, understand how you feel but hon revenge and jealousy and hatred and all those other horrible feelings we have at times only eat away at our souls...look to the future and be happy and you'll find all you need and want isn't too far out of reach
Love Tracie~


Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

The best revenge is to have class, because when it's all said and done YOU know you are worthy of someone better.

OK OK I guess I didnt express this very well...the whole point was geting on with my life...the best revenge is to forget him and find someone new...

sp...no not the most pleasant of emotions...but the price you pay for being willing to love.

Mark...gee I thought you knew me better...lol I am not after revenge...just want to get on with my life.

James...yep and thats just what I am doing...as you well know LOL

Tracie...thank you and I know...like I said I guess I just didnt express this as well as I thought
