You played a game that didn’t belong to you
You played a game that you had no right to
Now you won’t take the blame for loosing
Now you won’t accept you were in the wrong
You weren’t invited
You weren’t welcome
You were safe you were neutral
Then you made it sour
The acidity ate away at me
Corroding my being but
You wouldn’t throw down your cards
You wouldn’t accept defeat and walk away
You kept lying you kept persisting
Where was I when you didn’t need me?
Where were you when I was needy?
When I cried you closed your eyes when I left you cried
Just a phase you wanted to be
Just a phase was better than nothing
No it wasn’t even a phase, it was a second,
There was never a realtionship
Now you use insults
Now you use threatening stares
Now you use hate now you call me fat
I thought that kind of immaturity was something left behind
     In third grade
I thought that kind of self-degradation was something for attention-
     starved children
But wait, that’s exactly what it is
That’s exactly the kind of behavior
That’s exactly the kind of attitude
You are a melodramatic, attention-starved child
You are draining
You don’t deserve me

Nicely done, Isabel.   Nicely done. Very, very pissed off. You did it better then some 'pissed right off' poems I've read... did you take time to channel your anger into this piece?

Personally, I would like to see more line breaks, several stanzas instead of just one. I think it helps the reader stay interested, and the author to be able to show when and where you paused in the empyting of emotion.

The line where you used cried twice was the only line I didn't appreciated.... well, I appreciated it, but it distracted me.

Again, a great piece here. I enjoyed reading it.
