Mean As Hell

You thought I was mean as hell
when I took the wind out of your sail.
I knew exactly what I was going to say
when you called me on that day.
It took me what seemed like forever
to have the strength and determination
to say these words to you.
Words you had not prepared
yourself to hear.
You still had some hope and you
thought that all you had to say
was "I want to come back" and I
would make your day.
But those were not the words
I was prepared to say.
So I said the words that would take
your breath and all your hope away.
"I don't want you to come back.
I want you to stay away."
That was one of the few times
that I heard you cry.
The other time was
when your Momma died.

The truth is often the most painful thing in life.

Nice work bud. The truth can be painful, but it makes life so much simpler in the end.

I liked this poem...in fact, I read it over more than once, just to get another feel for it. Nicely done.
