Err...I don't know what this is. call it odd or just a vent. It needed to be let out.

To TN,

Who would have thought,
I would be writing to you?
Surprised are you to find,
I'm still alive and breathing?
Do you actually have any real idea,
Of just what you did to me?
What you contributed to?
What you were a trigger for?
Months of pain and nightmares,
Eating away at my mind.
These feelings drugging me,
With me unable to stop them.
Do you smile over there?
Do your parents know what you really are?
Mine do and so do my brothers,
Isn't that warning enough?
Tell me, how are your sleeping patterns?
Do you toss and turn,
Wanting to rip out your eyes and scramble your brain,
For just one night of peace?
This ache that rips out my heart,
Has your name written all over it.
I certainly don't pine for you,
I pine for my life back.
The way I am and who I now am,
Is really all your fault.
You couldn't have cared for just one moment,
Couldn't have just showed one scrap of concern.
Now I'm in a maze of destruction,
Soon the puzzle will be solved.
If only I hadn't been so stupid,
And let you get close to me.
If you think I'm admitting something,
Think again you psycho.
Just once I want you to feel this hurt,
And bleed from the inside out like me.
Thanks for being the one button,
That shouldn't have been pressed.
Thanks for putting me in a cage,
And throwing away the key.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth

Sad liz. I see that somebody put you through some pain. If you'd ever like to talk about it and have someone sincerely care and listen to you, then me.
I enjoyed this, and yes I'd classify this as a poetic rant  
Well done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I had no idea you carried so much pain in your heart.  I've always thought of you as being happy go lucky.  This poem is so strong and staright to the point I could almost feel your pain.  I guess we all go thru situations that really do hurt us a lot.  Hope things are fine now Lizzy.  Thanks for sharing

Wow...

I'm errr... well I'm lost for words..

I must admit, this wasn't what I was expecting.  Infact, you did a good job of ripping whatever expectation I had apart, throwing it on the floor and stomping on it a few times!!

This was real, not fake like a lot of the crap I've read, and the trueness and rawness of the emotion really grabbed me.  I had to stop and think.  Really think.
It's a beautiful piece of writing in a very sad way, and I'm nothing but sorry that you had to experience something that obviously hurt you badly, to write something like this.

But the good thing about venting, is the sense of self-satisfaction that goes with it.  So now, I guess you will find you can get on with it easier.. *shrugs* ..if nothing else, from the replies, it's obvious you're among friends.

OMG! This is so amazing. You have captured every feeling I had when I was with... It doesn't matter, but she has ruined my life and left me a completely changed person, and the change wasn't for the better. Awesome piece, this is in my library.

I liked the poem a lot.  I know that you will get through this.  We are all here for you.     (This smiley makes me laugh every time, so I figured you'd appreciate it)

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

Oh wow. Can I hurt him? Please? That sounds familiar. The poem, I mean. If you ever need someone to talk to... Things will get better, I promise you. You will become yourself again. It may take a long while, and it may be a painful road, but once you become yourself again, you'll look back on this and say to yourself, "wow, I've grown a lot because of this". That is an awesome poem, but I'm sorry you had to get hurt in order to write it.   Remember: it WILL get better
